Pond
Spinach is one of the plants we will grow in our system, due to the fact that it is nutrient dense and widely eaten. Approximately 48 acres of spinach were harvested in the United States in the year 2016.

Scientists are more than 95% sure that the current warming trends are due to human activities. By investing in our project, you are helping us to reverse this trend!
$412
Aquifer
The current carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is 412 parts per million, which is the highest it's been since 650,000 years. It is therefore crucial to find new solutions to the challenges that arise from our changing environment.
