Download Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth AudioBook Free
In Cows Save the Planet, journalist Judith D. Schwartz talks about dirt as a crucible for our many overlapping environmental, economical, and communal crises. Schwartz discloses that for many of the problems - local climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, rural poverty, malnutrition, and fatness - there are positive, different situations to the degradation and devastation we face. In each case, our ability to turn these crises into opportunities is determined by how exactly we treat the dirt. Drawing on the work of thinkers and doers, renegade experts and institutional whistleblowers from across the world, Schwartz issues much of the conventional considering global warming and other problems. For example, land can have problems with undergrazing as well as overgrazing, since certain landscapes, such as grasslands, require the disruption from livestock to prosper. Regarding climate, whenever we focus on skin tightening and, we overlook the central role of water in dirt - "green water" - in temperature regulation. And far of the skin tightening and that burdens the atmosphere is not the consequence of energy emissions, but from agriculture; coming back carbon to the dirt not only reduces skin tightening and levels but also enhances soil fertility. Cows Save the earth is at once a primer on soil's pivotal role in our ecology and overall economy, a call to action, and an antidote to the despair that environmental information frequently leaves us with.
