Dennis:

The other day on TV there was a report of a team of scientists who are planting some kind of plants in the Ocean whose job it will be to absorb CO2.

According to the report as these plants absorb the CO2 they begin to sink to the bottom.

Over the next few years the scientists will measure the amount of CO2 these plants absorb to see if they can help clean up the air.

I was busy and didn't catch all the details of the story, but maby you heard about it and can fill us in.
