RE: The Nitrogen Debacle - The Force Of Industry, Imitating Nature And A Decentralized Solution

in #steemstem7 years ago

I agree with you that fertilisers are a huge issue. The run off causes massive algea blooms that deplete the oxygen in the water killing marine life. The only issue is by designing plants on a large scale to pull nitrogen from the air then your are reducing the nitrogen ¨buffer¨ out atmosphere uses to keep us alive. We only require a small mix of oxygen and higher concentrations are deadly.

Yeah, there is definitely a need to investigate this. It seems like we are reaching a point where we need to make changes in the way we live and produce. I think Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have a point, there may be a need for us to start migrating into space (or find another habitat). Cheers!
