       @carapaceWas just reading in another thread that land degredation accounts for about 30% of the extra C02 in the atmosphere (possibly more).Rebuilding topsoil should humanity's top priority right now.

       @carapaceThe Dust Bowl is what got me. Realizing that the richest topsoils on earth, 12+ inches deep, don't just up and inexplicably blow away one day due to a bit of drought.The bison. The beavers. The forests. And THEN the plough, on top of it all. The landscape has been massively transformed. In my region the water table is down something like 800ft from where it used to be. People can't expect changes this massive to not have devastating consequences.But it's fixable. Permaculture before and after videos totally changed my outlook on our entire situation. The fact such projects aren't getting the kind of investment data centers do, tells us everything we need to know about who's running the world right now.
