We live upon a rock, hurling through space. Our very existence is made possible by millions of trillions of organisms who have formerly existed upon the surface or our planet. The most intimate thing we can do for this place is to give back a little for all that we have taken. When we honor the fact that we are billion year old carbon, we start a process of re-sanctifying the globe. Todd Rundgren, in his recent release, Global sings, "every drop of rain, every grain of sand, every rock and tree every forest stand, is in the Holyland." and this is true. Earth is living in symbiosis with humanity and it is time we learned to do the same for it.
When we perfect the art of the give-back, we are able to experience the cornucopia. Living selflessly in service to the whole is perhaps the most heroic way to live in these times. There are technologies to build soil at exponential rates, to heal the damage done by ignorant abuse and misuse of Terra Firma. Our planet is just a larger version of the astronaut's capsule, finite and with limited resources. Learning to live within the carrying capacity of our Mother Earth is quickly becoming the only reasonable approach to living honorably upon the planet. Learning to care for her and the fellow travelers upon her breast has the power to transform humanity itself.
Native populations have much to teach us about our own history, compassionate care for that which sustains live and how to see the true meaning behind the lies that we have been told in service to furthering the oppressive regimes who will kill anything for profit. Nature is not as harsh and foreboding as we have been told. earth has sustained thousands of generations before us and will continue to nourish thousands more if we learn to take graciously and give back in equal measure to what we have taken. The reason that ECO-Tours of Wisconsin Inc. was founded is to help teach about tools and techniques for protecting and serving mother earth rather than just exploiting and despoiling her. We are fundamentally concerned with healing the rift between humans and their environment.
Biochar workshops and classes that we teach have helped hundreds of individuals to learn ways to double their food production while simultaneously building their soils and making them more healthy. Put some tobacco down, or say thank-you to the planet in whatever ways you are moved to, your efforts will be rewarded, many, many times over.
