Unscramble the Blue Letters

Of course, we still have a lot to do. We have to develop the solutions we have, and we have to develop and invent some to solve some wickedly hard problems, many of which I've mionnteed already. For iatncnse, how do we grow healthy food without emissions while protecting and rnsrtieog nature? How do we construct our buildings and fly airplanes without emissions? How do we rleccye minerals instead of mining for new? And how do we make chemicals without dilnirlg for oil and gas? How do we make steel without emissions and concrete that absorbs croban dioxide at scale? And how do we all, especially big ereittms like multinational corporations, track and report our eiosimsns? Because you cannot manage what you don't measure. We need good, reliable, transparent carbon acnniotucg. Another massive opportunity: developing carbon accounting and reporting software.
