I wondered what could be used in place of single use plastics as policy decisions are shifting to reflect the needs of the environment. I learned about different options and thought about whether they answer the current challenges of single use plastics: theradicle.home.blog/2021/01…

Life on earth depends on soil 🌍 🌾 soil provides food 💧 soil cleans water 🌦️ soil captures carbon 🐛 soil hosts biodiversity ♻️ soil recycles nutrients We need to protect and restore this precious resource 🌱 #WorldSoilDay

Way to go @Shiggin1! Great talk highlighting the impacts of #climatechange on #winter #soil processes. She talked about how variations in the magnitude and duration of freeze-thaw cycles impact the forms and concentrations of #phosphorus in agricultural soils! #IUGG2019 – at Montréal, Québec
