Im doing this project where i have to come up with new ideas to help in gobal warming. it doesnt have to proven or anything. i just need a valid approach where there is a logic to it. like while mowing the lawn, the cut grass goes to the bag and then it will go through some process, then it will transform to be a biofuel so it uses it. so it saves of fuel. i would use that example, but someone already using it. can you help me please? thank you very much. greatly appreciatte.

How about a 'bio-hybrid'? A small vehicle that is part pedal power,part battery,to run a small electric motor. I'd buy one.

I have a few ideas. Here are two that I can think of off the top of my head.
1. invent a pedal-powered CO2 scrubber. Then give a free stationary bicycle to everyone on Earth and make them pedal for at least 15 minutes a day, or more, if they are environmentally conscious. If the scrubber removes (I'm totally guessing here) 200 g of CO2 every 15 minutes, even if 10% of the world's population pedaled for 15 minutes a day, that would remove approximately 120000 tonnes of CO2 emissions every day (the equivalent of 12 medium-sized coal-fired power plants). And... everyone would have the side-benefit of exercise.
2. Increase farming activity so carbon in the atmosphere would be fixed into vegetable matter. Use the vegetable matter to make particle board for construction projects and keep the carbon fixed... forever.

If you want to reduce CO2 emmissions, just dump the grass clippings in a land fill. That would effect a better atmospheric CO2 reduction per dollar spent than trying to use compost as fuel. Problem is, that while that idea addresses CO2 emissions, it doesn't appeal to peoples emotions.

Anchor buoys over deep ocean-trenches. The bouys use wind power to extract CO2 from the air and pump it to the bottom. At those pressures, CO2 is liquid, and since it's heavier than water, it stays there forever.

Put large shades in orbit. Like square mile wide space blankets attached to satellites. If we can make enough shade, the Earth will cool.

Invent a chair that keeps your beer cold. Sit down, relax, enjoy a cold one. In time the climate will cool down again, on its own.
