• The grounds on which golf is played are called links, being the barren sandy soil from which the sea has retired in recent geological times.

Links are too barren for cultivation: but sheep, rabbits, geese and professionals pick up a precarious livelihood on them.

• CO2 from air can replace petroleum: it can produce plastics and acetate, it can produce carbon fibers that replace metals and clean hydrocarbons, such as synthetic gasoline. We can use CO2 to desalinate water, enhance the production of vegetables and fruit in greenhouses, carbonate our beverages and produce biofertilizers that enhance the productivity of the soil without poisoning it. Carbon negative technology is absolutely needed now.
