Carbon sinks are one of the methods people are hoping will really help offset emissions over the next few years. What if there was a way to supercharge them? That’s a possibility with biochar, an emission sucking wonder material.
We’re going to take a break from our regularly scheduled eco-programming to discuss something of real importance: Baby Yoda. That’s right, the most important thing on the internet. Specifically though, how exactly does the little dear age? This article has a lot of theories on the matter.
