Hi, my comment is not with specifics but by a reference to a new book that perhaps sets a viable frame for all local efforts to save this earth's Biosphere. We only have one, no spares in sight, shall have to make it do if there are to many more generations of our species.

from the Tyee Mar. 22 '21 summary by Crawford Kilian Can We Geoengineer The Environment? "Before trying, techno-optimists should be assigned this new book on ambitious ‘fixes’ gone oh so wrong. "

Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future
By Elizabeth Kolbert
Crown (2021)

“Geoengineering” is increasingly discussed as a way to neutralize or even roll back the effects of climate change. It proposes various gigantic projects to cool the Earth, or absorb carbon dioxide, or otherwise mitigate the climate disaster we’ve got ourselves into.

It’s an intriguing idea, and when you think about it we’ve been geoengineering the planet ever since we started setting bushfires hundreds of thousands of years ago — and especially since we began clearing land for agriculture."

Mining is what we are good at . Bring it to a 'dull roar' would slow fouling the Biosphere. Bioengineering to facilitate returning life supporting things to a recyliable state might help and at the same time remove those toxic components from the recyclable stream. Pay attention to what Nature is telling us is "too much" and stop doing too much of that. Just thoughts🙁
