BUILD YOUR OWN BACKYARD GARDEN SOIL BY COMPOSTING

We all know that the definition of sustainability, how it affects each of us and how we move toward sustainability is different for all of us. However there is a consensus building that sustainability must incorporate the idea of restoration. This is because it can be argued that our current life supports systems and access to natural resources is so gravely compromised that we, as a people will only remain “sustainable” if we choose to restore the systems that we have depleted.

As an example our current agricultural practices are sapping our nation of its topsoil. Its estimated that one-ton of topsoil is lost every year per citizen! If you want to learn how to begin the journey of learning how to build soil Karen at Green Conscious has a class for you!

I just got this great video of us at the Artie Gras parade. We had a great time at the event, riding bikes and tossing seed bombs to the audience. So much better than candy and perhaps a way to inspire a few guerrilla gardeners.
