Atalanta Climate Air Filter – Protect the Planet and Remove CO₂

  > - An average plant can only reduce up to 20% of CO₂, but our technology captures 95% as air flows through. So I can pay $15/month, or I can buy five plants once and be more efficient? > - By using 3-4 of our products annually, we can help you capture and permanently sequester 11 kg of CO₂. While this might seem small per person, if every Vancouverite participated, it would total 28,600 tonnes of CO₂ – equivalent to filling 6,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This is CO₂ that traditional actions, like biking or tree planting, wouldn’t address. That's a lot of swimming pools, but what actual impact would it have on the world? I may capture 11kg over the course of a year, but how much is emitted during the drive to deliver this thing to me and pick it up? I see that they claim it's net negative (how?). > Regeneration requires no energy. How? And all of this aside, this is yet another "don't use plastic straws"/"you're personally to blame" solution that doesn't actually address the problem of emitting the stuff on industrial scales in the first place!

Yes, you're correct. This product is worthless in terms of CO2 capture.
