SUMMARY:Global Earth Repair
DESCRIPTION:Whidbey Climate Action’s Island Conversation series will feature Michael Pilarski\, speaking about the best methods to re-green the planet\, rehydrate the land\, reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere and stabilize the climate. Michael has compiled a list of 130 nature-based solutions for planetary regeneration.

Indigenous leaders\, Earth repair practitioners\, restoration scientists\, Earth defenders\, and grassroots organizers. Specialists in soil-building\, wetland restoration\, rehydrating the land\, biodiversity\, ocean regeneration\, agroforestry\, regenerative agriculture\, and the other 130 solutions we have identified. The Convergence will provide the best overview of how to get ourselves out of the mess we are in – in the shortest amount of time – with the most benefit for the world’s people and all other species.
