Kiss the Ground Viewing and Discussion!

Join Unity of Appleton's EarthCare team at their first public monthly meeting! We will be viewing the epic documentary Kiss the Ground. It’s an inspiring film that shows how the key to saving the planet resides in the planet itself—more specifically in its soil.

The opening argument is that modern agriculture is ruining the ground, depleting it of natural nutrients and its ability to store a planet’s worth of carbon. As a result, carbon dioxide is escaping into the atmosphere at the terrifying rates with which we’ve all become familiar.

Thanks to industrial agriculture, soil erosion is accelerating almost beyond comprehension. According to the film, a third of the earth’s topsoil has been lost since the 1970s. At current rates, the rest of it will be gone in 60 years.

“Poor land leads to poor people,” the film concludes.
But there’s hope. And a solid plan.

Please join us to watch this extraordinary documentary and have discussion afterwards! The event is FREE but donations towards facilities use is appreciated.
