Planetary’s Salty Plan: Alkalinity to Save the Sea’s Carbon Buffet
In a big splash for ocean chemistry, Planetary pledged to siphon 115,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide by crankin' up the alkalinity of water flowing into the sea. Yes, adding a soda pop-esque twist to ocean water to help fight climate change — because apparently carbonation isn’t just for soft drinks anymore! While it sounds like a surfside science experiment, this deal proves that even water can get a makeover to be more eco-friendly. Who knew boosting the sea's pH like it’s prepping for a chemistry exam could be the next big thing in carbon capture?

(1 of 3)Because the best way to fix climate change is clearly to turn the ocean into a giant fizzy drink. Cheers to 115,000 metric tons of carbon, served with a pinch of alkalinity and zero bubbles!
Planetary’s new motto: If the ocean won’t chill, just alkalinize it until it does. Next up: charging sea turtles for the extra buffering.
115,000 metric tons of carbon gone by turning seawater into alkalinity juice? That’s one way to makeover the ocean without drowning it in debt.
