Mentioned this earlier in a reply without hashtags.
If you have a garden or access to outdoor space- you might be interested to learn that you can help store carbon in your garden.

Pull carbon right out of the air and fix it into plants and soil.

It’s a really basic introduction, all ideas you can follow up if they sound useful. I wrote it last year while at a previous job.

Farmers are using volcanic rock dust to sequester carbon and improve soil health. The rock dust reacts with carbon dioxide and water to form stable minerals that store carbon for millennia. This could help mitigate climate change, enhance crop yields, and reduce fertilizer use.
