Sam, any chance you could refer to this in a small blog entry for us?


Carbon Farmers of America <http://www.carbonfarmersofamerica.com/> is a
group that’s taking this issue seriously. Star explained that they’re
funding research to discover the best practices for large-scale building of
soil and paying farmers for every ton of carbon dioxide they capture in new
topsoil by marketing carbon sinks to the public to fund the work. Topsoil
has the capacity as a carbon sink to capture the excess carbon in our
atmosphere. And our soils desperately need that carbon. So this group is
creating a win-win situation, really taking the permaculture saying
“Pollution is the solution,” and applying it directly to “global warming”
and topsoil depletion.
