Seagrasses are one of the most efficient global sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the world, removing twice as much CO2 as forests on land – and 35 times faster. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen estimate that seagrasses have released 32 billion Coke cans-worth of sugar into the soil – at least 80 times more than previously thought. 'That is roughly comparable to the amount of sugar in 32 billion cans of coke!' That's roughly equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by 330,000 cars in a year.' That's roughly equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by 330,000 cars in a year.'
