There are a lot of ways to save the earth from further destruction and for living creatures to starve to death, but it takes a lot of air to do that. The Bionic Leaf project of Mark Minie has all the answers of increase carbon dioxide in the environment with the help of sunlight. The product will not be a fish food but it can also produce methane fuel, the results are all useful considering that it came from quite already a useless ingredient.

Climate change has been the primary side effect of too much carbon dioxide in the air, thus the project of Minie can hit a lot of issues just by using one invention. Fortunately, because of this project's usefulness and timely assault to an almost impossible environmental problem, Amazon has awarded him $100,000 worth of Catalyst grant that can enable him to produce more for commercial use. According to reports from Digital Trends, Mark Minie's Bionic Leaf project will not only be confined for laboratory use, and the reward he has received will enable him to make Bionic Leaf kits for students and science buff who wants to create his own Bionic Leaf.

It has been a dilemma for assistant professors like Mark Minie to produce viable projects because of lack of financial support. Since some organization that provides funds have its original structuring for professors and other high ranking individuals, others who does not belong to these categories are usually left behind, as per reports from GeekWire. Minie was lucky enough to be rewarded for his ingenuity and to be able to share his knowledge through the Development Kits.

Other opportunities were also given to Mark Minie such as a chance to team up with Seattle community lab SoundBio on the project along with the Biospherics Working Group who initially knew of his Bionic Leaf project during their meetings. Minie was also grateful for the support of the Catalyst program that has been giving grants since 2015 and has been a great help in providing funds for social sciences and humanities.
