This collection contains solutions stories that explore the promising uses of biochar. Stockholm has launched a program to convert old Christmas trees into biochar, simultaneously reducing waste, improving the soil, and greening and powering the city.  Politicians in the UK have similarly begun to consider the potential benefits of biochar. Farmers in Australia are considering biochar as a way to reduce their cow herds' methane emissions.
