National - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Soils & Climate Change![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Follow-on from the only Irish conference on soils, in the International Year of Soils Community groups, Mayo Organic Group, & The Good Life Network, are organizing a follow-on day to discuss techniques & information, from the 2015 Soils Matter conference, held in July, at Claregalway Castle. Are we now experiencing, in our own locales, some of the effects of climate change? This is what the scientists told us to expect – weather events of a very rare & extreme kind. Our politicians & world leaders may have reached agreement, recently, as to how they are going to tackle the lowering of carbon & other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But, how can the individual make a contribution? The world beneath our feet, the very soil which feeds us, on which we base our lives, build our homes, drive our vehicles, acts to sequester & hold carbon & greenhouse gases, when it is living, growing & vibrant. |
