carbon
Carbon is the building block of every living, organic thing, both flora & fauna present & past.
Carbon enters the cycle of life as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
through photosynthesis on the stomates of leaves.
Photosynthesis is:
Powered by sunlight, CO2, water (H2O) & the chlorophyll in the leaves, form sugars.
6CO2 + 6H2O + chlorophyll = C6H12O6 (sugar)
Plant sugars feed the Tree to grow,
they are also exchanged with the microbiology of the soil for minerals and nutrients.
Insects and animals eat the plants and carbon builds on carbon.
Carbon is stored in the cell walls of living plants and animals.
Trees sequester and store carbon as they grow.
Because of their size and solidness, the can store a lot of carbon relatively quickly.
Trees are the fastest solution to Global Warming.
Carbon is very mobile, it finds its way through:
plants, pollinators
bees bugs beetles borras & books
flowers fruit feathers flies & wooden fences
grass grazers goats
cattle cotton cakes
meat milk & men
everything that is alive or once was, is made up of carbon!
