Is The U.S. Really Going Green?

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/06/22/synthetic.tree.climate.change.ccs/index.html

From the article, "'Synthetic tree' claims to catch carbon in the air", I learned that the U.S. is actually trying to reverse the harmful effects it's been polluting into our environment for centuries. With new technology, a plastic tree will trap and collect over a ton of CO2 everyday. The only issue is cost which isn't a big surprise, if the government would stop spending on unneeded items, we'd have more spending for the Green Movement...

The story was a little confusing for someone who wasn't in the science field but they did a decent job at trying to break down all the high-tech lingo. The lead could have been better, something a little more exciting.
