Restoring the Proper Balance to Earth's Carbon Cycle

[Guest]

Big/Urgent Problem: Link: "The carbon cycle is vital to life on Earth. Nature tends to keep carbon levels balanced, meaning that the amount of carbon naturally released from reservoirs is equal to the amount that is naturally absorbed by reservoirs. Maintaining this carbon balance allows the planet to remain hospitable for life. Scientists believe that humans have upset this balance by burning fossil fuels, which has added more carbon to the atmosphere than usual and led to climate change and global warming."

What can we, humans, do to mitigate the effects of climate change and global warming due to the imbalanced carbon cycle on Earth? Godspeed!
