Can we truly absorb all greenhouse gas emissions since the Industrial Revolution through natural ecosystems? Join me as I ask this confusing question to Steve Mushin, the brilliant mind behind "Ultrawild". Steve walks us through the enormity of carbon sequestration, comparing it to the mass of 2,500 Mount Everests. We also address the unsettling frequency of sewer explosions caused by methane gas buildup and introduce a visionary "sewer submarine" plan designed to filter and clean waste to prevent such dangerous incidents.
The conversation then takes a thrilling turn as we explore futuristic urban living concepts. Imagine a transportation system that uses waste heat from buildings to launch riders into the air, or floating cities buoyed by methane gas from cattle, reminiscent of Buckminster Fuller's Cloud Nine theory.

Steve’s inventive solutions, such as bioprinting edible limbs and utilizing eco-friendly technologies, paint an optimistic picture of sustainable living. We highlight the importance of individual actions and political will in driving these changes, offering practical tips like using solar water heaters and participating in environmental initiatives. Tune in for an eye-opening journey into the future of sustainability and innovation!
