Beavers and CO2 Sequestration

beaver-hands-on-headThose of us who watch an occasional “Nova” broadcast on PBS understand that beavers have a salubrious effect on any environment they inhabit.  One of the many reasons this is true is that the activities of beavers, i.e., building dams, contribute to the health of long grasses, and fungi (“mycorrhizal fungi” as it turns out) that grows on their roots, which are incredibly effective in sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide into the earth beneath us.

If we had a mascot here at 2GreenEnergy, it would most assuredly be the industrious fellow pictured above.  Not only are they effective, but they’re adorable as well.
