Regenerative Agriculture
I have recently had the opportunity to watch the 2020 documentary “Kiss the Ground” with narrator Woody Harrelson, and let me tell you – if you haven’t seen it yet, PLEASE DO! We are dealing with many pressing circumstances as a global society, and none poses as existential a crisis as climate change. This is what the documentary tries to tackle. A difficult task, I’m aware, but one I have come away from the documentary knowing has solutions that are not as difficult to implement in themselves as we might initially believe. As ever, it has shown that the main obstacle is our willingness and commitment to change the way we do one thing – grow our food. It’s not some alien-like technology still in its infancy, or barely a twinkle in a future-innovator’s eye. No, when its boiled down, it is a few changes that could mean the world and it all has to do with our soil.

Environment is polluted day after day
Since the 19th century, water and air pollution from solid waste have been a problem, especially in densely populated urban areas. Water pollution increased during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when industries began to discharge pollution into rivers and streams. In 1969, chemical waste dumped into the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caused a river to burst into flames, and it became a symbol of how industrial pollution was destroying.

For and against the 97% consensus on climate change
Climate sceptics are fond of challenging the oft-vaunted claim that 97% of climate scientists agree that current global warming is largely caused by mankind – the word commonly used is “anthropogenic”. So can that 97% figure be justified? Do the sceptics have a point?

Individual acts that lead to Global Warming
Denying the importance of individual responsibility has become a wise new phenomenon among analysts and many environmentalists. Environmentalists have been promoting individual measures for decades, but they have never had the desired effect.

NATURE'S WORST NIGHTMARE
On September 16, 2017, Hurricane María hit Puerto Rico with sustained winds up to one hundred seventy-five miles per hour. It is considered by many to be the island’s worst natural disaster in recorded history. More than three thousand islanders died as a result.

Climate Change
Climate change is the statistical distribution of climate change over periods of decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average seasons or a change in the distribution of events around an average season. Climate change may be localized to a particular region or to the entire earth. This may be a recurring, often cyclical, southern oscillation-like climatic pattern; Or as single events that can be referred to as a dust storm.
