This! Have a look under the hood @living_carbon. – at Boston, MA
1/ I left OpenAI 3 years ago to pursue a challenge equally as important as AGI: climate change. While we’re still short of ChatGPTree, @living_carbon has developed climate-smart trees, planted 200K+ trees & is creating a playbook for frontier tech in new markets:🧵👇

MCJers, we need your help!
We’re hosting June community events in Boston, NYC & Houston (and more cities to come!).
RSVPs so far (a few days in):
Boston: 132 🔥
NYC: 266 🔥 🔥
Houston: 9 😳😳😳
Please help us spread the word in Houston climate tech! 🙏

We shipped 100 climate-smart trees to a high school project called Plant It Forward. Today in celebration of #ArborDay2023, the students planted 100 trees in partnership with their local township in Michigan (right outside of Detroit).
We love their sign almost as much as we love partnering with local communities for urban forestry projects.

Love this!
For our 50th year, we’re looking forward, not back, to life on Earth.
Together, we can prioritize purpose over profit, collaboration over competition and protect this wondrous planet, our only home. What’s next is unstoppable.

Next is saving our home planet.
Let’s find joy in protecting the land and waters that have always nurtured us. And revel in their beauty, open spaces, magic. What’s next is unstoppable.

It’s planting season! We’ve officially started commercial deployment of our trees (engineered to be more efficient at photosynthesis) into US-based carbon projects. Much more work to do, but this is a first and a big milestone! – at Orrville, OH
“We’ve had people tell us it’s impossible,” Maddie Hall said of Living Carbon’s dream to deploy genetic engineering on behalf of the climate. But she and her colleagues have also found believers — enough to invest $36 million in the four-year-old company. nyti.ms/3S3HnuA
Feeling this! – at Brookline, MA

Building anything is hard.
Building a startup is very hard.
Building a startup to help solve a big global challenge is very very hard.
Building a startup to help solve a big global challenge, bridging legacy systems to new ones is very very very hard.
But, we gotta do it.

We're expanding our commercial team's capacity to develop enough carbon projects to remove 1.66% of global emissions.

“For big corporations, the IRA ‘definitively changes the narrative from risk mitigation to opportunity capture.’ In other words, companies… should be scared of missing out on the economic growth that the energy transition (and the IRA) will bring about.” theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Yvon Chouinard was asked by a kid ‘Why do you love nature?’
His answer was one of a wise elder:

Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!
Welcome to California. If it hits 114 today, it will be second hottest day in recorded history for Livermore, CA since Sept 3, 1950. – at Livermore, CA

Excited to have the @wef highlight some of the biotech @living_carbon is building to improve the quality and durability of nature based solutions!
They accumulate up to 53% more biomass than ordinary trees.

$5B for forest conservation and restoration, among many other good things. 🌳
Great summary of the new proposed US climate bill 👇🏽
