Summary

In this BONUS episode, we're bringing you our coverage of chapters 4 and 5 of REGENERATION: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken. Since it was originally published in 2021, this consolidated content will prime you for our upcoming interview with Paul Hawken. If you have specific questions you'd like me to ask Paul, please send me an email note to: hello@caremorebebetter.comLAND: The topics covered range from Regenerative Agriculture to Composting and Vermiculture, Degraded Land Restoration and Returning Biodiversity. It's a hopeful chapter on everything we can do to change our current trajectory, reverse global warming, and return health to our soil, to our people, and our planet. We can draw down carbon - put it back where it belongs, and continue forward, creating a better future. PEOPLE: With this chapter, we reveal and our role in solving the climate crisis, reversing global warming. We are asked to think about the role of colonialism in climate change, of its damaging effect on ecosystems as we knowingly or unknowingly eradicated the knowledge of generations who maintained forest farms and grasslands by pushing them off their homesteads. It’s a call to action for all of us. We are one, and it’s time we start acting like it.

0:26.2	fellow regenerators. Today I have a treat for you as I get to dig into land, the fourth section of this
0:34.0	innovative work by Paul Hawken in regeneration, ending the climate crisis in one generation.

1:01.6	to help you get there. All right, let's dig in. The magic of soil is something that we are yet to
1:07.2	fully comprehend. It holds with it a solution that can sequester 25% of the carbon in
1:12.8	our atmosphere, drawing it down into the roots, fungi, and microbes that exist in rich earth.
1:19.5	The earliest known soil is 3.7 billion years old. It was a home for the first algae plants
1:26.7	that made their way from waterways to land,
1:29.5	adapting to their new home and becoming the first terrestrial plants. Without organic matter,
1:35.7	earth is simply dirt, so it is with mutualism or mutual relationships that soil is born.
1:42.7	We have a responsibility to protect the complex nature of land,
1:46.8	because it gives us food, it holds water for drier times, it sequesters carbon, and it plays a role
1:53.4	in the small water cycle that creates rain, giving us new, purified water to squelch dry earth.
2:00.3	If we hardscape our planet, deplete our soils,
2:03.5	and continue to extract its resources without giving back, then guess what? Earth will survive us,
2:09.4	but we won't survive the climate that we have created. The good news is that we can take action.
