[Terrapreta] Fossil fueled based fertilizers

[Duane Pendergast]

Sean,

 

I too was really impressed by Dustin Hughes Grade ten report about four
years ago. Your message prompted me to look around the Internet to see what
he is doing now. I see that when he progressed to Grade 11 though, he got
away ahead of my time.

Hi Gerrit,

^This is just a fantastic paper!  That kid, Dustin Hughes, is ahead of his
time.  He sees in quantified terms exactly what Peter Read is talking about
and what I have been beating around trying to say, too.  He saw this three
or four years ago, too.  Charocal into soil (Terra Preta style) is a way to
"mine" carbon out of the atmosphere and it will directly and can immediately
effect atmospheric carbon levels to the better.  If I knew how to get a hold
of this kid, I'd offer him a job working for my company.  He sees exactly
the objectives I think need to be accomplished.

 

Regards,
