"Soil is one secret solution to global warming"

Research from the Rodale Institute shows that ‘sustainably-farmed soil absorbs 30% more carbon than conventionally farmed soils. “Switching our farmland to organic would cut greenhouse emissions by 10% in the US (20% in Canada and most of the rest of the world),” says a blurb pointing to a web video at www.quantumshift.tv/v/1181028043/ The website carries an online petition calling on world leaders to switch subsidies from conventional to sustainable farming practices.
