"Trees" and "Leaves" Clean the Carbon

Synthetic "Trees"

Technological Advancements

Yes, the big white towers in the picture above are "trees" with a whole ton of "leaves". To you, it may look like just another type of solar windmill, solar panel, or a gigantic fly-swatter but this is different. This invention/project that has already been put in motion and seems to be working perfectly, soaking up 1000x more carbon than an actual tree. This "tree" soaks up carbon through its "leaves" and puts it into a chamber where it is then changed into liquid form. This "tree" could be used to make a CO2 liquid fuel which could be used in planes and cars. When the carbon is soaked up, this leaves cleaner air and more oxygen. The extra plus? This tree doesn't need sunlight to work, it could be placed anywhere and still soak up the carbon! Now, they can be used to help slow or even stop global warming! Now that is a technological advancement.
