We had a guest speaker come in his name was Ray Chrisman. He specializes in biochar science. He came in a spoke to us for an hour about his job. He showed us different power points about global warming, and how biochar could help to cut back on our Co2 output. I think that he did a great job with his presentation I came out of it with alot more information thatn i had before. Some things that I learned was how biochar is made, and how much it usually cost. He gave us some interesting facts, like biochar was discovered in Africa in big field and it was estimated to have been 500 - 7000 years ago. He showed us some slides of global warming and other slides that showed whole cities, and towns underwater in 50 years if global warming kept going the way it is now. This really got me thinking about my carbon footprint, and recycling, and other things. I think that a good way to get money would to be to go to certain company's and work for them to help them reduce there carbon footprint. This would make me money and help them save money and at the same time get them more customers because now a days everyone likes a company that's going green.

  1. Wow, Brian, awesome post! I learned a lot from your post! I don't know very much about biochar and carbon footprints, so it was interesting to read about that. But I also love how you related what you learned to yourself and a possible career path.
    I can't wait to read your next post.
    Way to go!
