Regenerative Agriculture

I Posted on FaceBook, March 16, 2021 There will not be a Coffee and Climate Conversation with Cooper on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. I will be otherwise engaged in learning more about Regenerative Agriculture and such. I'm not a farmer, but I know that Agriculture is the only present greenhouse gas emitter that can turn that part of the equation from negative to positive. And you know what? The biggest thing I've learned so far is that for most of the time that the human race has farmed the ground and raised our own livestock, we have bucked nature and have been therefore ***ing in our own living room.

I just wanted to put in my own two cents worth on what he meant to me. I never met him and didn't know him personally. I wish I had. He was, however, an inspiration to me.

We can relax a little now, right? No, we can't. And here's why. This administration is a friend of the movement and will be a big mover while shaking up the status quo for sure. But as much as we need that friend, he and his administration are going to need us....
