CC series (Water - Part 1), Let's change the earth - literally.

Continuing with the climate change videos, but focusing on actions individuals can take which will help heal the planet but more importantly make YOUR life better.

Here we discuss the importance on water staying IN soils and not running across the top of soils. Slowing, spreading and sinking water. Not only does this recharge aquifers, it prevents pollution runoff, it maximizes soil life and photosynthesis, which means your garden grows better! plus, water stored in soils doesn't evaporate away. Less watering, needed, less work.

These are tips we can all use, to make our lives easier.
