WEB VIDEO OF THE WEEK: 
SOIL IS ONE SECRET SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING
Can organic farming fight climate change? Yes. And we're not just talking 
about food miles. Research from the Rodale Institute shows that 
sustainably-farmed soil absorbs 30% more carbon than conventional 
agriculture, and switching our farmland to organic would cut greenhouse 
emissions by 10% in the US (20% in Canada and most of the rest of the world). 
For a concise explanation of how organic farming could be a major tool in the 
fight against climate change check out the 10 minute online video "SOIL: The 
Secret Solution to Global Warming," featuring Canadian farmer Percy 
Schmeiser. The website includes an online petition calling on world leaders 
to switch subsidies from conventional to sustainable farming practices.
