The Dirt on Climate Change (full length film)
“The Dirt”™ is about the ecological and biological approach to climate change and deals with sequestering carbon in the soil and plants. How to keep rain in the soil, and not let it run off to the rivers. And the part trees play in the carbon, and water cycles.

Dear Lois,
We are poised between two climate stories.
One is gloomy and leads to despair because it presents few opportunities for success, and even those opportunities are slipping away day by day as the ice melts, the methane bubbles out of the Arctic, sea levels and heat indices rise and many of our life-support systems unravel. Emissions reductions and alternative energy are crucial to rescue us, but they are is simply not enough on today’s disrupted Earth.
The other story is one of hope and growing success in restoring ecosystems and cooling the biosphere, as well as reducing greenhouse gases. It is a story about the power and beauty of the natural world, the critical importance of biodiversity in creating resilience, and trust in the potential of ordinary people to restore a healthy planet. It is a story with an increasingly promising future.
The hopeful stories often get lost in the din and the drama, but they are everywhere. I see new ones every day, with many surprises and remarkable successes. Collectively they show us the way to a new era of understanding, abundance and peace.
