The Carbon Credit/Carbon Sequestration Movement
The Carbon Credit/Carbon Sequestration Movement
Remineralization for forests as a part of carbon sequestration projects offers a tremendous opportunity to remineralize through large scale projects worldwide and to begin to stabilize the climate (in combination with other worthwhile strategies, of course). A study in the Research section of our website shows 4 times the timber volume of a spruce forest over a 24 year period. One application lasted for 60 years.
If you are a frequent flyer, commuter, or would simply like to offset your personal carbon emissions, you ...
Patrick/Murray Transition Team Alerted to the Benefits of Soil Remineralization
A paper was submitted by RTE to the Energy and Environment Working Group of Governor Elect Deval Patrick's Transition Team for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. An excerpt:

With its unruly hedgerows of peach trees and musical creek meandering down the mountain, Cannard Farms in Sonoma, California is by any standard a rustic Eden. It was an exuberant endorsement by Greg Steltenpohl, founder of Odwalla juices, that brought me here: "Bob's carrots are amazing--he's a carrot shaman!" Steltenpohl had put his money where his mouth was, retaining Bob Cannard to develop Odwalla's new 65-acre carrot patch, whence flowed the very roots of ...
Bill Neu
Lyons, Wisconsin
Six years ago, 2001, I started gardening for the sake of improving my ailing health. I was determined to garden organically for the sake of food purity. Setting out with little knowledge and almost zero experience I had two very disappointing years of only fair yield and relentless insect attack.
Disillusioned, I then read up on some organic pest control approaches. Armed with a little non-toxic ammo I achieved less damaged produce. However it cost extra money and time and did not improve yield.
