EARTHWORMS The great thing about time is that the present is always with us. If our forebears damaged their present, we can learn from their mistakes and fix it in our present.
We need to understand that our present is a particularly critical one in Earth’s history. How we behave now decides the quality of mankind’s future. The Global Warming Greenhouse is not an if or maybe and there are no lifeboats. It’s a bitter reality and the question is :-”How bitter will the reality be ?”.
WORMS CAN SWEETEN THIS BITTERNESS Of the problems facing this world of ours, two of the major ones are that we don’t recycle our organic wastes and our agricultural soils are severely degraded. Both of these problems are man-made, the one by laziness, foolish opportunism and expediency; the other by interfering in the natural order in a foolish, short-sighted fashion. By fixing the first we provide a partial solution to the other. Rarely understood is that by causing our agricultural soils to degrade and to lose their structure, a huge amount of carbon dioxide has been displaced from the soil into the atmosphere, where it forms part of the Greenhouse phenomenon. Worms can be pivotal in correcting these problems, and in using them to do that, you can make a major contribution to stopping the Greenhouse Clock. Worms played a major role in establishing a fertile Greenhouse-free world; they can play an equally major role in re-establishing it.
