To rephrase this article: The impact of direct air carbon capture will require enormous input of energy or enormous tonnage of materials such as limestone.

Another approach to reducing the human contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide is to have each person adopt a low CO2 emission life style.

Just like a massive carbon capture technology, enabling individuals to adopt a low CO2 emission lifestyle is not a free proposition. How much to pay an individual to implement a specific low CO2 life style? Gasoline (the high emission variety 19.6 lb per gallon) at $3.50 a gallon produces a metric ton of CO2 for $393.
