Our March Meeting
featured John E. Peck Executive Director, Family Farm Defenders talking about Regenerative Agriculture and its impacts on Healthy Soil & CO2 B alance. His talk was followed by a Q&A period with many questions asked and answered. A couple of days later John sent this:
"Since many folks were asking on the call and afterwards for some more soil carbon resource links, here are a few to pass along. ... Thanks for hosting such a lively conversation!"
Best - John

Here are a few more ideas to follow-up on Regenerative Farming:
* Watch the "wonderful film, called Kiss the Ground ([link removed]) , which talks about many ways to reduce carbon, most importantly, regenerative agriculture. It's available on Netflix, Vimeo for $1, or there's a free 45-minute educational version. Highly recommended…” - Terry
+ Kiss the Ground: PURCHASING GUIDE ([link removed]) - How you can eat well, build soil, and regenerate the planet by making conscious purchasing decisions.
* If you are looking for local sources for food grown using regenerative agriculture, here's an Interactive Map ([link removed]) from Regeneration International ([link removed]) to help you find the farms you're looking for.
* Regenerative Agriculture ([link removed]) - Definitions, discussions, analysis of its potential, and gorgeous pictures!
* A search for grass fed meat Milwaukee ([link removed]) (includes pork & free range chicken)

Another Road to Doomsday: Planetary Biocide
2021 State of the Planet
George Stone Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus of Natural Science MATC
Dr. Stone's talk will have a "special emphasis on decreasing biodiversity and rising extinction rates, and on the increasing probabilities of pandemics."
WE HAVE repeatedly been pressing the snooze button on the issue, but covid-19 has provided perhaps the final wake-up call. “2021 must be the year to reconcile humanity with nature,” said António Guterres, the UN secretary general, in an address to the One Planet Summit ([link removed]) of global leaders in Paris last month. “Until now, we have been destroying our planet. We have been abusing it as if we have a spare one.”

What is the Line 3 tar sands pipeline? ([link removed]) - 350.org
Line 3 is a massive pipeline underway in northern Minnesota that violates Indigenous rights and it would carry pollution equivalent to 50 coal power plants.
The bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water. Indigenous water protectors are fighting to protect their land, but the drones are overhead and the police are militarizing.
President Biden has the power to stop this project. He can review the permits granted by Trump and halt Line 3 construction immediately.
This will be the first climate test for his administration and we are making it clear that the Line 3 pipeline must be stopped.
Please
sign our petition ([link removed]) calling on Joe Biden to #StopLine3 immediately and invoke a climate test for all pipelines.
