We discussed how she ended up looking at Soil and why she is so enthusiastic about nature's way of solving issues.
- How does natural systems work to manage a particular problem? (in this case heat or carbon)
- Plants are running the show
- Plant life is cooling the planet
- Plants manage water and by managing water they manage heat
- We 'devegetated' about 25% of the planet with pavements, buildings, industrial agriculture and deforestation
- Financial system doesn’t make any sense because we are rewarded for things that don’t create any wealth but from extraction (it only makes sense in the short term)
- Most people don't know that we can restore large scale ecosystems
