It is common knowlegde that ozone (o3) can be created using electro-static generators (those silver domed things in school science classes with the rubber belt which make static.) When an electrical arc occures the plasma disrupts the air creating ozone.
We could capture this ozone and lift it to the correct altitude using gas-filled baloons and a simple altitude sensore release system. The balloons would eventually fall back to the ground for possible re-use (without and gas escape)

The generators could easily be powered by re-newable sources (solar / wind / even human powered!)

Could this work?
Could it be that simple?

Is there any way to capture co2 gas, convert it to a solid, and use it as a building material?.?

This may be a stupid idea, but I thought if we could find a use for co2 it may be easier to get people to do something about it. Perhaps convert it to a calcite-like material and use it like a concrete for building construction. I know that the ocean can convert co2 to limestone, over a long period of time. I thought perhaps we could speed up the process.

Apparently the ocean may be losing its ability to soak up CO2. What can I do to help?
