Impact Hub Boston: Grassland Restoration to Reverse Global Warming

[Seth Itzkan]

Hi All,

It was a pleasure to speak on the promise of grassland restoration to reverse global warming at the Impact Hub Boston City Awake lecture series two nights ago in downtown Boston.

As usual, it was good to see so many people from diverse backgrounds who, upon investigation, immediately understand how essential this message is for our climate future and quickly becoming part of a new "front" in the climate movement.

Below is a most inspiring quote from the host and director of Impact Hub Boston, Geoff Mamlet.

"Impact Hub Boston was delighted to host Seth Itzkan and Ridge Shinn last night (Monday, Dec 8, 2014) to speak on Grassland Restoration and Carbon Sequestration. Their talk was part of the City Awake series of events across the Boston region that shines a spotlight on individuals and organizations doing extraordinary things to make the world a better place. We were most impressed with the promise of restorative grazing to build soil and sequester carbon while producing healthy food, improving the livelihoods of small farmers in some of the poorest communities in the world, and reversing or preventing desertification. We believe grassland restoration of this type can be an essential part of a healthy climate future, and that consumer preference for 100% grassfed meat, particularly in large urban centers like Boston, is an essential component of this transition."
