Poem
Though this will not be poetic I'm opting to answer questions before they're asked And as a courtesy to tradition I will do so in poetic format Chlorella is algae which grows just like a weed Millions of pounds per year all from a-- Well, they don't have seeds For every thousandth of a weight Point one-fourty-four is the absorption rate That means for every liter of chlorella A hundred-fourty-fourth of carbon is absorbed per day C. Vulgaris is effective And versatile too Used in bioinks, cosmetics Biofuel, and food It contains all nine vitamins Which humans need to thrive Is fifty percent protein and Ah, I'm running out of rhymes Well, then there's Asparagopsis Taxiformis, specifically, also known as red seaweed It is as it sounds and has one claim to fame When cattle ingest it, they produce 80% less methane The third is salicornia A halophyte that loves brine And absorbs it by the ton Using a specialty of its kind Hal o fye toe ruh mee dee ay shun Halophytoremediation, that's right One-fourty-two million pounds of brine Are produced each day by Carlsbad And desalination plants of the like Though despite current methods, this waste is a resource Plentiful enough to feed these plants like never before As much as 30 quadrillion pounds Of chlorella could be sustained On the very same amount 30 tril salicornia could absorb in a day That may sound like a lot But for reference, a farm that size Would be smaller than an 18-hole golf plot And so this is how I hypothesize Our world could be spared From what, at present, seems an inevitable despair It's as simple as gardening and of only small size We can do it for free and we can start tonight And if seven thousandths of our population succeeds All the world can see the stars by 2033
