October 9 Climate Education: "Kiss the Ground" discussion

 “Kiss the Ground” is a new documentary that began streaming on Netflix on September 22.

  The regenerative-agriculture movement of farmers and ranchers is excited about the release of this movie. The documentary will show how regenerating the world’s soils can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies.  

Please watch  Kiss the Ground on Netflix anytime before our meeting time at 7:30 on September 22, then we'll gather to discuss our thoughts and reactions.   (And also discuss what the team would like to do next.)

Time: Oct 9, 2020, 7:30 - 9 PM
