This is the alternative to the anaerobic decomposition that you guys call fragrant flowery compost over there on the other side.

I just burn the methane off, converting it to CO2 and H2O, and then let the trees and the fragrant flowers grow. Even after everything withers and dies, it makes great compost for the next generation, unless you guys landfill it and pave it over with parking lots and condos, like the rest of the trash you guys call truth.

It's not necessarily fun, but somebody has to say it.

I'll tell you what, when the instruments verify a complete absence of water, and huge amounts of carbonate and carbon dioxide in the upper crust of Mars, get back to me, and we'll review these posts.
