It's a Shame we've missed this challenge. Here at VRHR.co.uk we believe that the only real way to Saving Carbon is via the medium of implementable choices to replace present practices. Making interviews available to be done over the internet is but one of the truly productive ways of reducing Carbon Production. Visualizing reality, mimicking normal processes, removes the need for movement and exhaust fumes.

I must of had my head up my arse to miss this competition..hell I will work on ideas for this even though the competition has closed..we need floating biodegradeable "spomges"in the atmosphere that float around and then fall to earth and biodegrade away..a mesh of cells filled with lighter than air gas and extra cells to "capture" the rogue gasses..call em wind wafers..man u got me thinking now..lol..

Dear Sir. Sir It was jury of Competition EDP Innovation Richard Branson. The Project winning is a plagiarism. Already it has some years, before the competition, already if it could buy the equipment that of the one for the name of Powerbal. It is enough to search in the Google for Powerbal, the Portuguese patent 104442 not yet was acceptance. Please it has more attention in this edition of 2010, the Portuguese students are very experts in plagiarizing. I am not competing because I am acquitted, I have 35 years more than. fpereirainventor

Dear everyone, The real reason for global warming is Earths magnetic field is weakening. This means the solar wind reaches us more than usual. Temperatures rise, more water is vapourised from the sea and therefore more rain falls. Sea ice melts but land ice builds at the poles increasing albedo...etc... A standard cycle for our world... Science will generally answer most of our questions if we look in the right places. Of course its good to look after our united future. Energy production by antiquated means is the problem in terms of human carbon dioxide release. Unfortunately its controlled by the corporate elite. The answers to this problem DO exist and are NOT new. Thats all i'll say. I believe Richard Branson is definately one of the good guys trying to change things whilst following an ethical path. I respect that.

Seems too good to be true. What if some one has an idea but cannot prove it because the industry in play does not permit its development? There are ways to pull all the carbon from the atmosphere. I pity the fool that would order such a thing.
