Elliot, Go to ground.

Sometimes overlooked in all the climate change talk has been the importance of soil to the world’s water and carbon cycles. In soils, that cover less than 10% of the Earth, are more than three times the amount of carbon found in the air. Carbon dioxide amounts to 800 billion tons of carbon worldwide versus 2,500 billion tons of organic carbon in soils.2 https://e360.yale.edu/features/soil_as_carbon_storehouse_new_weapon_in_climate_fight

Here's the problem. The more carbon and water we have in the air, the less carbon and water we have in the soil. The less water and carbon in the soil, the less plants can grow, and the more carbon and water is left in the atmosphere. It’s a vicious circle that we can change. The nature-based solution is to get more organic carbon into the soil and water will follow.

350 ppm carbon = 700 billion tons. To get there plants need pull down only 100 billion tons. A 240 sq ft lawn not fertilized or watered can build an inch of soil. To do so will draw down 7.25 tons of carbon. More green instead of impervious surfaces, much less carbon in the air.
