Abstract: A system incenting farmers to improve the environment by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and generating electricity on the same portion of their arable land is disclosed, having a plurality of solar panels installed on at least a portion of a farmer's arable land, prairie grass planted beneath said plurality of solar panels and displacing a crop on the portion of the farmer's arable land, electricity generated by said solar panels either utilized by the farmer or sold to a utility, a computer receiving a signal indicative of the amount of arable land replanted with said prairie grass and the crop displaced, and a carbon offset credit calculated by said computer and owed to the farmer reflecting the amount of CO2 stored by the prairie grass on the farmer's arable land.

Abstract: A system incentivizing green energy usage is provided having a charging station, an electricity source electrically connected to said charging station, a signal indicative of the sustainability of the electricity source received by said charging station, a mobile electric device receiving electrical charge from said charging station, a signal indicative of electrical charge drawn from the electrical charging station, a signal indicative of usage data for the mobile electric device, the charging station determining pricing based on at least one of the signal indicative of the sustainability of the electricity source, the signal indicative of the electrical charge drawn and the signal indicative of usage data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for manufacturing composite paper-based sorbents configured for durability, and high surface area exposure to air. Composite paper-based sorbents can comprise fibers (e.g. natural and/or synthetic fibers), anion exchange resins, and additives. Composite paper-based sorbents can be configured for durability when used in various forming processes, e.g., corrugation, and when used under a variety of conditions, for example, in high and low humidity environments.
