Poor Soil = Less Food Plants feed us, but... who feeds the plants? We know they need sun, water and – most importantly – nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These are found in the soil, from which the plants absorb them. However, if the soil doesn’t have the necessary nutrition available, the plants starve, leading to diminished yields and less food for a growing population. #SaveSoil Action now:show more

Carbon credits are a key component of national and... global attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gasses (GHGs). The basic idea behind carbon credits is to use market mechanisms to control emissions. Carbon credits can be bought and sold on carbon markets, and this trading helps to set a price on carbon. The carbon credit system was established under the Kyoto Protocol and is now a key component of many emissions trading schemes around the world. By putting a price on carbon, the system aims to encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and help mitigate the impacts of climate change, effectively making it more expensive to pollute. #SaveSoilshow more

Elon Musk and Joe Rogan discussed animal agriculture in... the latest episode of podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, with both of them making a number of inaccurate claims about meat’s impact on the planet. Raising animals, particularly cows, for meat has the biggest impact on the climate and the environment of all foods. Animal agriculture contributes at least 16.5 percent of total global emissions. The reason that ruminant animals like cows are so bad for the climate is that they produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas with up to 80 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere. In addition, the vast amount of land used to graze animals or grow food to feed them — 80 percent of all agricultural land — could otherwise be absorbing carbon if it were returned to nature.
