    I’ve always wondered how big an impact burying all grass clippings would have… I assume very little since I’ve never heard it mentioned before.

      You would have to bury them really deep to prevent them from being converted fully back to CO2, or worse methane, by other organisms.

        Not to mention, all the nutrients that would normally be returned by their decomposition will never return back into the ecosystem.

          We have a simple biologocial solution for all of that. Peatlands. They transfer the carbon into more and more stable chemical compounds that end up being sequestered. All the coal that is extracted now used to be peat some hundred million years ago.

      Just leaving them on the ground allows them to decompose naturally. A better option is to not cut your grass, or have a native groundcover lawn.
