What if the solution for reducing our collective carbon footprint were right under our feet? Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio believes it is – soil is a natural and planet-healthy repository for CO2.

Author Courtney White talks about this as well as the environmental problems caused by today’s common farming practices.
