Hey everyone,
The local news decided to do a piece on one of the big projects that my lab is working on: The Marin Carbon Project. Since I've talked with a number of you about it in the past, and since it's a really cool project, I thought I'd share. You don't see my face, but I know and work with all of the people you see, and in all of the places they show. My hands are featured at 2:17, however.
The video gets at the general principle of the project, even if some of the explanations are a bit off. Would be happy to answer any questions.

However, like Dr. Silver says in the video -- it's not a magic bullet. I agree with your sentiment, though. If we can manage our lands using practices that make us money and help the environment using simple techniques available today, not some technology that's X years from being researched, Y years from being produced, and Z years from being affordable... Sound like a good deal to me.
