    I am learning SO much about our SOIL'S role in climate and food, in a course I am taking with KISS THE GROUND.  In fact, We can regenerate our soils quite simply, with results being carbon squestration, healthy food and agricultural systems, and healthy ecosystems.  Carbon is not the enemy --- there is simply too much in the air and not enough in the ground!

    How to post an action such as continuing education and/or advocacy training?  I started the KISS THE GROUND soil advocate training course last week!
