1. The document proposes collaborating to connect existing local businesses, charities, and communities around shared causes to regenerate the local economy. 2. It suggests innovating by opening opportunities for new green businesses and projects conceived by the community, such as developing anti-superbug technologies or carbon cycling agriculture. 3. The first proposed innovation is to implement a funded project using sea nutrients and coastal reforestation to enable the UK to become a leading global supplier of resources and drive local economic growth.

17. Gorshkov & Makarieva
• Global carbon cycle
• Forests are not only the world’s
lungs, but also its heart
• Logged coastal trees for
shipbuilding
• Continents turned into deserts
• Need to restore coastal forests

18. Kickstart
• Oil supertankers travel
from deserts
• Return with seawater ballast
• We dump sewage off coasts through
“outfall pipes”
• Could turn sand back into soil + irrigate
& nourish coastal tree belts
• (Recovers capacity by dissolving tar
residue)

19. Agroforestry
• 8% of world’s land
productive, could be 75%
• Trees+crops 10 times the
yield of monocultures
• Earth could be 100 times
as fruitful
