I was browsing throught the Baltimore Sun paper on Tuesday and came across an article stating that muck (wetlands) can help save the planet. A Maryland scientist is measuring how much carbon dioxide is trapped in the soil of wetlands (testing the Chesapeake Bay) and is hoping to prove that salt marshes are better than planting trees for removing global warming gases from the atmosphere. If he is right, companies will invest in building more wetlands. Planting marsh grasses will also help birds and fish (there are many benefits).
This article is located on the front page of The Sun and is continued on page 7A in Tuesday, Oct. 9th's edition.
