There is a company in Arizona called Global Research Technologies [GRT] that is experimenting with scrubbing CO2 from the air with "Atmospheric Carbon CapturE SystemS" or ACCESS. This system consists of plastic "leaves" that collect CO2 similar to a tree collecting CO2. With the ACCESS system the CO2 is stored until it is either sequestered underground or sold to the energy or agricultural sectors.
A 9 foot by 4 foot ACCESS unit is capable of removing 50 lbs of CO2 per day. A representative from GRT has indicated that a unit the size of the Great Wall of China that was working at 100% efficency would capture half of the world's CO2 emissions.

This sounds promising. Anything that helps to clean up the environment is worth serious consideration. I also think your new design looks great! :)
Thanks! I think it looks great too. Although I would like to expand the width of it and include a second sidebar area.
