  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks Learn about Biochar
    Can biochar provide additional benefits besides sequestering carbon?

    Anna MOORE 4/30/2021 12:22 PM
    YES! Besides sequestering carbon, research is currently suggesting that biochar could reduce methane produced by livestock and increase tree survival rates. Planting millions of trees isn't helpful if the survival rate of those trees don't improve.

    A sustainable community is one that leaves the land and air better for future generations. The reduction of pollutants by changing the way we think about energy and the how we create the necessities of life.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Composting
    Producing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?

    The wasted energy, hour of labor, and financial capital motivates me to reduce food waste and compost.
