This site looks interesting, it's talking about personal carbon capture and storage as a strategy to prevent climate change:
http://cou2.com
"The COyou2 patented technology works by filtering the air you breathe out, capturing the carbon in a convenient lightweight backpack.
As you breathe out into the tube, the carbon dioxide passes through a solution of ammonium nitrate and the reaction allows the carbon to be isolated. The carbon is then stored in exchangeable inner bags that can then be sequestered in any nearby location including your own backyard."
I've just ordered a catalogue, it's definitely worth checking out, after all, every little thing makes a difference. I never thought about human beings as being responsible for major carbon emissions, but I'm always looking for ways to lessen my carbon footprint.
What do you guys think?

I would have to say this is either a joke or a scam. The CO2 you breathe out is not a cause of climate change, it's part of a closed loop system. Furthermore, it's a trivial amount.
