OUR PLANET NEEDS OUR HELP

We need to act on climate solutions now.
Climate change is one of the most challenging problems that humanity has ever faced. At stake are hundreds of millions of lives, innumerable species and ecosystems, the health and viability of the economy, and the future habitability of this planet.

Fortunately, climate change is solvable. We have the technologies. We have the science. We now need the leadership—and the courage to change course. We, with concerned scientists and change agents are ready to activate and engage a united global systems climate solutions task force and community.

There are opportunities to create a global community of care, equipped with programs, localized and central land guardianship, and system-level improvements for us all to learn, grow, share and collaborate upon with what few resources are left in mindful ways so humans can be better planet occupants and stewards of our collective home, Earth.We need to act on climate solutions now.

WE MUST NEUTRALIZE CARBON

Currently, the rate at which climate disasters and global warming is presenting itself, reveals the signals of a changing climate. The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2

Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause Earth to warm in response. Current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming. Carbon dioxide from human activity is increasing more than 250 times faster than it did from natural sources after the last Ice Age.

COLLABORATE WITH US

We can be a team.
We can make things better.
We can act, develop programs and build a community movement.
Let's meet this urgent tipping point for our shared home, Earth, by integrating climate solutions and human innovation, together.

​

Our team is curated from the best possible talent in the world. We are currently building land management programs that can be subscription ready, consulted or contracted which integrate climate science and technology with best practices for landscaping teams and amplify community efforts.

We are a pro-active community-based impact organization focused on helping make the world around us become a healthier, better, sustainable place. With the help of our tireless team, we support, research, build, innovate and amplify meaningful projects and efforts making a positive impact in the world. We love organizing fundraisers, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers.

WE CARE ABOUT MEANINGFUL INNOVATION
We aim to continue to proactively test, prove and explore climate innovation to meet our shared urgent climate challenges together by connecting the dots that lead to progress. One such example? 

Connecting climate science, research, technology and benefits helped us realize that Basalt Rock Dust could be one of the super solutions to today's urgent climate realities and help mitigate some anticipated developing climate change disasters.

One use case in particular of great urgency and interest?
Basalt Rock could prove to be a particularily important agricultural, environmental, drought and wildfire resistant solution.

WHY BASALT ROCK DUST?  
Volcanic Basalt Rock mimics the Earth’s own method of producing healthy soil, helps support the biological processes and advance weathering needed for optimal and sustainable plant growth and has been an agricultural key to restoring the health of our soils for years through the process of soil remineralization.

ROCK DUST COULD ALIGN CLIMATE INTERESTS and land stewardship best practices

HOW ROCK DUST COULD BE A HUGE IMMEDIATE CLIMATE SOLUTION

Spreading Basalt Rock Dust on large swatches of land and soil once a year could remove an estimated 2 billion tons of CO2 from the air while fertilizing soil each year.  In a paper published in Nature, July 8, 2020, researchers at the University of Sheffield laid out the potential costs and impact of the process. If the three countries that emit the most carbon dioxide - China, the United States and India - adopted the practice, one billion metric tons could be scrubbed from the air through enhanced weathering. 

THE APPROACH
Rocks are crushed and transported to farmland, where they are spread over a large area once a year, when it rains, water dissolves silicate or carbonate materials in the dust. This cycle causes carbon dioxide to be pulled from the atmosphere into the solution, forming bicarbonate ions. Over time, the ions are washed into the ocean and form carbonate minerals able to trap the carbon for at least 100,000 years.

BENEFITS OF BASALT ROCK DUST 
  • Capture and Sequestriate Carbon through Advance Weathering
  • Mineralize and further boost the health of soil
  • Yielding an increase in crops and food production, 
  • Combats peak phosphorous and agricultural decline
  • Increases resiliency of plants and soil to drought, saline and heat 
  • Increases resistance to lodging due to wind or rain

First Let's

Discover
We are exploring innovation to meet our shared climate challenges by developing land management programs and plans together with you for commercial and residential properties which integrate climate science and technology with best practices such as the integration of basalt rock dust into your soil.

Now let's roll

Integrate
We can explore what your existing landscaping, agricultural and property needs are and integrate climate solutions into the plan and program to make your residential and commercial property be positively impactful, help reduce carbon emissions, earn you money through carbon credits and be in good community standing.
