World Soil Day Campaign: December 5, 2015

-

Soils have been neglected for too long. We fail to connect soil with our food, water, climate, biodiversity and life. We must invert this tendency and take up some preserving and restoring actions. The World Soil Day campaign aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives. Soil is the basis for food, feed, fuel and fiber production and for services to ecosystems and human well-being. It is the reservoir for at least a quarter of global biodiversity, and therefore requires the same attention as above-ground biodiversity. Soil is made up of organic remains, clay and rock particles, found on the Earth’s surface. It contributes to food, reduces biodiversity loss, and secures energy. Problems like deforestation, bad agricultural practices and pollution causes soil degradation and erosion.

Are you aware of the effects of higher blends of ethanol gasoline on your  outdoor power equipment , lawn mowers, and other small-engine products? Most people are not.  Outdoor power equipment  is designed and warrantied to run only on 10% or less ethanol blended fuel. EPA has approved some mid-level ethanol blends for use in some automobiles. This means that this type of fuel will be available at gas stations. But they are illegal and risky to use in hundreds of millions of small engine products and applications. And most people don’t know that. https://www.monnicksupply.com/supply-and-hardware-store-ma-blog/the-impact-of-ethanol-fuel-on-outdoor-power-equipment

A four-year private college would cost almost $47,000 a year ($46,950*). Multiply those numbers by four and you’re looking at spending $100,000 on the low and around $200,000 on the high end. http://www.mazzarellafinancial.com/blog/the-top-four-things-you-need-to-know-about-529-plans
