Our own indigenous Spekboom (Portulacaria Afra), also known as Pork Bush or Elephant's Food, is one of the only plants on Earth that produces oxygen by day and night, continually capturing carbon dioxide. It is a super efficient carbon trap. It is said to be more effective than the Amazon rainforest at sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. All our town and cities should be planing this in parks and on road verges. Poluting industries should be made to plant this shrub to offset carbon emissions instead of paying ridiculous carbon taxes.
