A new carbon sink: compost on the range

"Cover the earth with compost!" This may be the new rallying cry of environmentalists: a recent study finds that spreading compost on rangeland helps the land absorb carbon from the atmosphere at the same time as it improves soil fertility. Whoa! A double benefit!

It's sure nice to have some non-controversial good things to post on the blog from time to time!
