That’s about how long we have until the world’s remaining topsoil is gone. “What we’re looking at is man-made desertification,” said Josh Tickell in his recent keynote speech at Driving Value Through Sustainability Across the Supply Chain. There’s hope, though. “Kiss the Ground” explores how this crisis can be reversed, explaining that when we regenerate the world’s soils we can stabilize the Earth’s climate, restore local ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies.“This film represents the culmination of tens of thousands of hours of research by scientists around the world who have finally cracked the code on managing climate change—before it’s too late,” says Josh Tickell, author of the book Kiss the Ground, How the Food You Eat Can Reverse Climate Change, Heal Your Body and Ultimately Save Our World. And as the experts share in the film, positive change can happen rapidly.Sponsors: Meaningful Movies Mt BakerTo learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/kiss-the-ground/ ...

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 ...
