[Terrapreta] agriculture carbon trading

[David Yarrow]

a few thousand years ago Lao Tzu wrote:
store up great wealth
and you attract theives

still true today
at an absurd time
when water is sold in bottles
when plain, ordinary carbon
is about to be auctioned
as a pollutant permit

the collective road back to sanity and sense 
won't be a two-step journey

a word of warning:
we're talking about selling air
when the bubble is about to burst
keep your parachute handy
earth is a long way down......

and even if the next generations 
make it back home to mama
they still need to know
how to make fertile topsoil
and grow food

anyway, at the moment
putting a price on carbon
makes economic sense
currently approaching $150/barrel
and $4/gallon

for a green & peaceful planet,

  there is a lot of momentum and some dark actors.

  best wishes
