Summary: * Greenwashing and corporate co-opting of the green movement. * Global Climate Disruption, reductionist thinking, and the wrongheaded solutions proposed by the mainstream. * The popular green revolution seems largely concerned with buying or inventing our way out of this mess. * Ultimately, we've got to realize that this is a finite planet, and we can't keep growing indefinitely. What to do about it? What if we could address top soil erosion, water and air pollution, and sequester a boatload of carbon, just for insurance? And not have to rely on gimmicky manipulative carbon taxing schemes, or insane spraying of toxic material into our skys? And also produce nutritious food as well? Properly managed herbivore grazing on pasture mimics the natural pre-industrial, pre-agricultural state of the land, and can sequester more carbon than all other proposed solutions, without negative side effects.
