Reply to comment by subjecttomyopinion in CO2 ventilation breakthrough could turn city rooftops into bumper vegetable gardens by Sorin61

I work with a guy that said that if he was made ruler of the world, he’d have all the trees removed from the side of the road so that they won’t make a mess in the fall.

People just aren’t educated, they think plants are all over the place just for decoration. They were either never taught, or were never paying attention in school. They have no idea that plants consume CO2 and spit out oxygen. It’s called photosynthesis.

Go ahead and ask some people in your life if they can explain photosynthesis to you. You’d be shocked how many people know the word but have no idea what it actually means.

The problem’s about to get worse unfortunately, the young generation suffered serious setbacks in education thanks to the most recent pandemic.

Although it is true that plants do produce oxygen and stuff, 70 percent of our oxygen is actually from algae in the ocean which we are killing with water pollution.

This article is about making incremental change using infrastructure we already have. Try and stay focused.

Agree 100%. That's why I'm skipping learning prison with my kids.

People frown on homeschooling but my son is already a year ahead in school and learns firsthand. No politics involved with his education and he is engaged as well as faces a very strict regimen of teaching.

Politics aren't involved?

See Betsy devos.

See voucher systems for schools.

See school boards being overrun by "Christians" that don't want "porn or strippers" in schools.

Thanks for stopping by

Edit- Will also add- "specifically trained" - to follow what the school board "allows" and are underpaid for while handling 25-30 kids at a time rather than smaller groups. Makes sense.

I would have thrived in home school. I finished up online my senior year and graduated 3 months early. I barely passed in school, it’s too distracting.

Not to mention it’s where a ton of kids die now

Whoa whoa whoa. You must be inundated with conservative politics. /s.

I agree. Teachers aren't paid enough to be meat shields.
