I recently learned that even if we all stopped driving today and never drove again, we would not be able to solve our carbon problems. However, there is another way to reverse the carbon damage. Soil is one of the biggest holding mechanisms for excess carbon. Each time earth is plowed or tilled, it contributes to soil degradation as well as carbon loss. Soil is a finite resource. Poor farming practices depletes soil nutrients faster than the earth is able to replenish it. The good news is that some folks in the agricultural industry who recognize this have started to use machinery that cuts strips into the soil rather than plow. This retains the soil ecosystem as well as carbon thus soil health. Unfortunately, we are not making this change at a successful rate. How can we as consumers evoke change?
