Mechanical Trees - passive carbon removal
These MechanicalTreesTM are passive direct air capture technologies that absorb the CO2 rather than sucking them out of the air. The 150 sorbent tiles of a 10 meter tall mechanical structure can be fully saturated with CO2 in 20 minutes and go through the standard scrubbing process after retracing into a chamber. Some blue sky thinking but would it be great if we can make these mechanical trees as retractable wind towers for offshore hydrogen production? You will have the green hydrogen, negative carbon plus smart offshore wind farms can survive extreme weather to battle climate change. https://mechanicaltrees.com/mechanicaltrees/

A changed Senate will allow Australia to move forward with agility
Our Senate is too often obstructive to efficient and effective government in Australia.   The Senate was designed to be a check and balance in our Federation but now often obstructs governments from implementing their clear electoral mandate.   New Zealand operates effectively without an upper house. The UK Upper House by convention allows the elected government to implement the platform presented to the electorate, can only block a bill three times before the lower house can pass this into law, and cannot block supply.   Australians deserve a better system – let’s band together and push for change!http://democraticrenewal.org.au/
