1. Food, oil, nutrients…CO2, waste, pollution… Natural Resources Threats to Humanity For centuries, humanity has been plundering the earth…

2. CO 2 Trace nutrients Growth minerals History of Earth’s Resources Non-biodegradable pollution We have turned fossil fuels into excess CO2 in the air, leading to, for example, climate chaos and the energy crisis. K Key nutrients, which we fail to put back into our depleted soil, have been washed out to sea, leaving us increasingly vulnerable to modern diseases, such as cancer. In our manufacturing processes we create disposable but non-biodegradable, toxic materials.

3. Food, oil, nutrients…CO2, waste, pollution… Natural Resources Threats to Humanity We must quickly turn those threats back into the inheritance our children should have shared instead…

4. CO2CO2 World Resources eg food & fuel, materials… We can do this with the simplest form of plant life – algae – the green slime in the seas

5. Wave pump Starting from the desert coastline, use wave (or wind/solar) energy to pump sea water inland

6. Salt 10% Seawater Solar de-salination Fresh Water CO 2 Algae Seawater Desalinate some of it and mix with raw sea water to produce the concentration at which microalgae multiply at maximum rate (an absolute max of 40 times/day!)

7. Algae Solid Fertiliser Liquid Fertiliser Methane Gas Anaerobic Biodigester Cultivate and harvest microalgae, and break it down using anaerobic bacteria to produce methane gas and liquid/solid fertiliser

8. Plant food Solid Fertiliser Liquid Fertiliser Methane Gas Anaerobic Biodigester Energy Growing medium CO 2 Water vapour Plant food Burn the methane gas to produce energy. Fertilise and grow trees (or other vegetation) in an inflatable-walled dome into which the carbon dioxide and water vapour from the burning methane are pumped to boost growth.

9. Plant food Move dome further inland, extend the piping, and repeat, progressively refertilising deserts, and growing trees, super-foods, ethical biofuels, medicines and biodegradable, non-toxic materials – reversing climate change and growing the world economy IN HARMONY with the planet.

10. Plant food Rising Sap Replacing the trees we originally cut down for our crops and cattle, will bring rainfall back to the swathes of desert we left behind us (NOW 75% OF THE WORLD’S LAND)

11. The solution is to convert sunlight, excess CO2, and sea water rapidly into a nutrient-rich plant biomass (marine algae / seaweed) to refertilise the world’s wastelands and deserts (75% of the world’s land) and grow more than enough ethical biofuels, highly nutritious superfoods and natural materials, etc, reversing climate change, ending pollution, restoring confidence and stabilising the world economy in the process.
