“Kiss the Ground” is a 2020 documentary describing how “regenerative agriculture” puts carbon (lots of carbon) back into the ground while restoring soils to good health. Globally, the carbon cycle is broken and nature’s balancing processes cannot keep up (see “The past, present and future of climate change,” The Economist, Sept. 21, 2019). Many cannot afford a hybrid car or a new furnace, but most can afford some meatless meals each week for starters. We can request grass-fed meat, which is both healthier and supports regenerative agriculture. Watch this optimistic documentary and start the conversation. The Greatest Generation has done their part. Now, it is our turn. ~ George Lawson, Gorham
