Microsoft Is Literally Burying 💩 to Fight Climate Change — and I’m Into It

Okay, this might sound wild at first, but hear me out: Microsoft just signed a deal (over $1 billion!!) with a company called Vaulted Deep to fight climate change… using human and animal waste. Like, actual poop. The idea is they collect organic waste — from sewage, farms, paper mills, etc. — turn it into this thick "bioslurry," and inject it super deep underground (like 1,500 meters deep). It supposedly locks away carbon for centuries. Microsoft is doing this to offset 4.9 million tons of CO₂ by 2038. At $350/ton, that’s not cheap. But honestly? I kind of love how weird and grounded this is. While everyone’s talking about fancy carbon capture machines, Vaulted Deep is like: “What if we just put poop where it won’t bother anyone for a thousand years?” It’s gross, yeah. But it's also kind of genius. Better than letting methane leak into the air. Climate tech is going to need weird, uncomfortable solutions — and this is definitely one of them. #Tech #Microsoft
