Summary
Kathleen Draper is the author of the blog 'Finger Lakes Biochar' and the book 'BURN: Using Fire to Cool the Earth.' She's also a researcher and communicator that focuses on biochar—a highly stable carbon material that can be used for things like improving soil health, reducing flooding, purifying water, and more.
In this podcast episode, Kathleen sheds light on how we can redirect biological waste towards the creation of biochar, turning that source of carbon from waste to a resource; why we need to talk more about biochar's potential for helping to restore our carbon cycle; and more.
