Episode-119- Start A Revolution At Home With Food Not Lawns

REVIEW SERIES

Revolution begins with taking control of my food. America’s biggest export is top soil. Each year America exports through its waterways enough topsoil to fill a train full of box cars that can wrap around the earth 7 times. American lawns and industrial farming make waste of one of our most vital resources. It’s actually a matter of grave national security when you think about it.

  • Lawns use ten times as many chemicals as industrial farmland.
  • American lawns also consume more than 270 billion gallons of water each week.
  • How to make plans for recycling grey water or the waste water from washing clothes and dishes.
