In a world filled with tree-planting initiatives, one biotech firm named Living Carbon is taking ‘green love’ to a whole new level. They’re creating gene-hacked “mother trees” with an uncanny knack for sucking up carbon dioxide. If these marvels of science can populate four million acres by 2030, they could soak up over 600 megatons of CO2 – about 1.6 percent of global yearly emissions. That’s one ambitious way to green up the planet!
