  1. keep up the good work. Cactus is one of the best plants to sequester carbon. See Norma Alcantar's nanotech.water filters spun from the cactus plant. Or a new plastic that has been used as a fashion statement. Can clean water of contaminants up to 95%. The sap painted on metal prevents corosion. Mixed with clay water it makes strong adobe. Encourage planting it everywhere.(The national plant of Israel as well).
