Secret Worlds

Chanced upon a brilliant article by George Monbiot over the weekend relating to the 'unknowable wonders' of soil. Unknowable they may be, but Mr Monbiot lets the reader know an awful lot and it lives up to the wonders billing. The first few paragraphs are powerfully inspiring but, inevitably I suppose, much of the rest makes for pretty depressing reading as the writer lets us know of just how much damage we've managed to do to the soil with which we were gifted.

The good news is that he reckons we can still do something about our collective stupidity. Hope that those positioned to take action have the sense to do so. And also hoping that those, like myself, who've been content to let things take their course stir themselves into doing... something.
