You don't have to go THAT far, you can bury it over time through regenerative agriculture. Also, crazy I know, you can build durable structures with them. That said, the substantial majority of carbon sequestered by forests is in the soil as part of the lifecycle of the forest, therefore preserving trees, especially forests is extremely vital much more so than planting new trees. Restoring forests and wetlands is also vital but It takes a long time for a forest ecosystem to develop, and if you're trying to just convert land to rapidly sequester CO2, bamboo plantations and algae farms are faster.
Nah, buildings and hummus are only just a bit longer term than trees. Still short term in the long run tho.
Hummus is never long term the way I eat it
Why did they have to name it the same like we do dirt.
