Is it better to grow grass than trees? (which absorbs more C02?) Is it better not to mow your lawn? (I bet the answer is yes. I hear gas mowers are big polluters).
Is burning leaves a no-no?
I wish I could get simple guides about what simple activities we should change. (beyond the obvious, like driving less...if only that were possible!!)

Hi,
I should think that the more topsoil we can produce ie "Loam" the better.
Too much of this runs off turning into silt. The more we have, the better to
keep things green, and thus hold back the land. And it does sequester carbon in the process. Sounds like a win-win all around.
By the way: if you have a compost pile, give it a can of beer...even cheap beer. Compost likes beer on occasion. And it likes air as well.
