Remineralize the Earth
promotes the regeneration of soils and forests worldwide with finely ground rock dust as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, creating fertile soils much as the Earth does. Not only do we need to recycle and return the organic matter to the soil, it is equally vital to return all of the mineral nutrients which create fertile soils and healthy crops and forests. Remineralization is essential to restore ecological balance and stabilize the climate.

Saving Dying Oaks in California |
Dr. Lee Klinger
Scientist Lee Klinger has initiated Sudden Oak Life, a movement to
put forth a more global, systems approach in understanding and solving
the tree decline problem in California and elsewhere focusing on
boosting the fertility of the soils with natural, mineral-rich
fertilizers so that the trees are healthier and better able to survive
attacks by diseases and pests.

Update on RTE Project in Costa Rica |
Jatropha Seeds
In partnership with Ocean Arks International's John Todd, RTE's research project in Costa Rica is currently documenting evidence of the enhanced growth of trees by using volcanic rockdust to enrich the soil while reforesting previously devastated, overgrazed grasslands. See this article to learn more about our efforts to increase carbon sequestration through remineralization in Costa Rica.
