Teaching is strategic, don’t get me wrong. I am in the business of training trainers. Our graduates and their new skills will be essential in midwifing the revolution that lies just ahead.
But now lets build a cool lab. Lets make energy from some abundant waste biomass that, left to its own, would go back to the atmosphere and increase global warming. Lets take the biproduct of that energy – biochar – and make biofertilizer. Lets work upstream and capture some of that waste biomass as leaf protein and probiotics. Lets go downstream and use the biochar to filter water, clean air, and improve animal digestion (our own included) BEFORE it becomes a biofertilizer. Lets cascade all of these products and services into a site that is in dire need of ecological regeneration and recruit disenchanted students looking for a cause. Lets restore ecological function. Lets turn back the desert. Lets reverse climate change.
It’s not too late.
One million of you in a position to chip in a couple of bucks, or one of you in a position to chip in a million bucks, can make that cool lab happen right away. That Donate button is there for this purpose too.
