RYOT 
California has the solution to climate change right under its feet. And we mean that literally. And all it would take to get the ball rolling is $160 million. Los Angeles-based non-profit Kiss The Ground launched its campaign on Aug. 3 urging people to support a petition asking California legislature to allocate $160 million from California's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for regenerative agriculture, composting and other land management practices that help sequester carbon. 


Below and attached is a link and an article describing the importance of soil. The Brochure is on  “Soil – A precious Natural Resource” and was  produced for the International Year of Soil 2015.

The publication was written by Gregor Klaus and is illustrated by the artist Nils Nova. Some spectacular photographs of the microcosm soil are also included. The focus lies on explaining the functions of soil and the services it provides. The goal is to raise awareness of the soil functions..
