"We have this awesome power and responsibility because we are the last stewards of humanity's nearly exhausted carbon budget. We don't have time to wait for someone else."  Kimberly Nicholas, Ph.D.

Our March Meeting

featured John E. Peck Executive Director, Family Farm Defenders talking about Regenerative Agriculture and its impacts on Healthy Soil & CO2 Balance.  His talk was followed by a Q&A period with many questions asked and answered.  A couple of days later John sent this:

"Since many folks were asking on the call and afterwards for some more soil carbon resource links, here are a few to pass along. ...   Thanks for hosting such a lively conversation!"
Best - John

Here are a few more ideas to follow-up on Regenerative Farming:

• Watch the "wonderful film, called Kiss the Ground, which talks about many ways to reduce carbon, most importantly, regenerative agriculture. It's available on Netflix, Vimeo for $1, or there's a free 45-minute educational version. Highly recommended…” - Terry
  • Kiss the Ground: PURCHASING GUIDE - How you can eat well, build soil, and regenerate the planet by making conscious purchasing decisions.
• If you are looking for local sources for food grown using regenerative agriculture, here's an Interactive Map from Regeneration International to help you find the farms you're looking for.
• Regenerative Agriculture - Definitions, discussions, analysis of its potential, and gorgeous pictures!
• A search for grass fed meat Milwaukee (includes pork & free range chicken)

Write or call and ask your representatives to support Fair Maps.
Especially if they don't support fair maps!
Letting them know they're doing a good job is important too!

What is the Line 3 tar sands pipeline? - 350.org

Line 3 is a massive pipeline underway in northern Minnesota that violates Indigenous rights and it would carry pollution equivalent to 50 coal power plants.

The bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water. Indigenous water protectors are fighting to protect their land, but the drones are overhead and the police are militarizing.

President Biden has the power to stop this project. He can review the permits granted by Trump and halt Line 3 construction immediately.

This will be the first climate test for his administration and we are making it clear that the Line 3 pipeline must be stopped.

Please sign our petition calling on Joe Biden to #StopLine3 immediately and invoke a climate test for all pipelines.
