A Solution To Climate Change
So I don’t have a farm. Have never done any farming aside from the bit of volunteer work I did in my local community garden. I also can’t lie to myself. The fact is I don’t have the physical constitution for farming. I’m not sure if I’d last two full days in the field without being incapacitated out of pure exhaustion. To quote Socrates, “Know Thyself”, those are true words of wisdom to live by.
I’m not proposing that we all go out and become farmers, that’s not possible for most people. But we can get behind this movement and learn more about the benefits of soil regeneration and the practice of regenerative farming. There’s a great documentary streaming on Netflix called “Kiss The Ground”. I highly recommend watching it. You don’t have to be a scientist or farmer to be inspired. It explains why the regeneration of soil holds a major key to the CO2 problem. Here’s a link to the trailer.
Another documentary I loved and highly recommend is “The biggest Little Farm”. It’s a true story about a couple who decided to transform their land into an eco, permaculture oasis. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a link to the trailer
How soil can help solve our climate problem
Another organization that’s trying to create awareness and the importance of soil is savesoil.org
Most of us are well aware that climate change is a problem. That mindlessly extracting earth’s resources is unsustainable. But now it’s time to discover and enact solutions!
Another great resource is the book Project Drawdown, written by Paul Hawken. There’s also a cool website regeneration.org that proposes solutions, here’s an except from the site,
“Regeneration puts life at the center of every action and decision. It applies to all of life — grasslands, farms, insects, forests, fish, wetlands, coastlands, and oceans — and it applies equally to family, communities, cities, schools, religion, commerce, and governments. And most spectacularly to climate.”
I’d love to know your thoughts after you’ve had a chance to get acquainted with some of this information. I’m happy to share more info and resources for people interested.
