The movement seeks to show governments of all nations that their citizens want a policy to revitalize soil and ecology. To activate and demonstrate the support of over 3 billion citizens, Sadhguru will be riding a motorcycle alone, 30,000 kilometers across 24 nations. .

Soil, water and air are all interconnected, it is every one has the right to utilize the

0:23.9

soil to harvest what he needs by growing the crops he deserves. At the same time,

0:30.5

Yevoryun has the responsibility to protect it, to sustain its productivity and fertility and health.

0:38.7

Now, Yevoryun talks about this global warming and even globally many actions have been started to

0:48.9

combat CO2 enrichment in atmosphere and reduce global warming. So, CO2, as we have already seen,

0:59.5

is one of the major components leading to global warming. What soil by proper soil management,

1:08.0

a major contribution to mitigate global warming can happen. If we understand, if Yevoryun understands

1:18.6

the link, there is 10 times more CO2 stand stored in the soil compared to the atmosphere.

1:31.0

By storing more carbon in the soil, we restrict the speed with which it is released into the

1:38.8

atmosphere. Thereby, the levels of carbon can be reduced. The atmospheric carbon can be harvested

1:48.1

through photosynthesis and stored as a plant biomass and also as soil carbon in huge quantities,

1:56.9

in Taggart tons. So, thereby, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere when it is reduced,

2:09.2

it is contribution to global warming as greenhouse gas will also come down.

2:16.1

For a greenhouse gas is one which absorbs the radiant energy and emits it in thermal infrared

2:27.2

resin to heat the atmosphere. It absorbs the energy and holds it and releases it. A greenhouse

2:37.4

is one which is transmittive to shortwave radiations and blocks the escape as longwave radiation.

2:48.8

For example, in a glass house, the solar radiation will come said through for shortwave radiation,

2:56.2

it reaches inside the glass house, where if you grow plants, it will do photosynthesis.

3:00.4

But after heating the soil surface, it is emitted back in longwave radiation. That for that long

3:06.5

wave radiation, that glass house or that greenhouse is not pervious, is impervious. So, it is

3:15.7

recycled within the glass house. So, the thermal energy, the heat energy increases and the

3:22.0

temperature goes up. The similar thing is happening all over the world. That is what we refer
