I wonder if there are plants/trees that grow fast and capture a lot of CO2, that you could just cut early, bury, plant another and repeat.
Maybe a GMO kind of tree that just grows fast? I've read that it's the young trees that capture a lot of CO2.
I guess one could imagine large areas dedicated for this kind of operation, but it's really difficult to know if it would really be effective, and those plants could become invasive.
The best solution is still to stop using cars and airplanes, ban plastics, force companies to make durable and repairable products, degrowing the economy and enforce sobriety everywhere.
I know most americans refuse to listen to de-growth, but they need to change their mind quickly.
