Using compelling graphics and visuals, along with striking NASA and NOAA footage, the film artfully illustrates how, by drawing down atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing piece of the climate puzzle.This movie is positioned to catalyze a movement to accomplish the impossible – to solve humanity’s greatest challenge, to balance the climate and secure our species future.Sponsors: Meaningful Movies Port Townsend, Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, QUUF Green Sanctuary Environmental Action Committee, and QUUF Social and Environmental Justice Council.Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/events/510694893273580To learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/kiss-the-ground-2/ ...

Happy Earth Day! Although April 22nd is the “official” day for Earth Day, we must do more than just celebrate it once a year. Everyday can and should be Earth Day. Whether it’s something small such as taking a bike to work, having a one hour “black out,” or planting a tree, we must take actions to care of our Earth everyday to ensure a brighter future for the next generation. #EarthDay #EarthDay2021 #EarthDayEveryDay ...

Today was a step in the right direction. Although today’s verdict won’t bring back those we’ve lost, it does bring us closer to positive change in our world. But our work doesn’t end here! We must continue our fight towards racial equity and social justice. We must remind everyone that Black Lives Still Matter and that this is more than a movement.
