Ashoka insight
Chaotic balance is the key. We can balance the carbon in the atmosphere by bringing it back and putting it in the soil, where it can actually generate wealth: it can build the health of the soil and the food we grow and, as a result, whole ecosystems. The foundation of indigenous minds that native communities have preserved is critical. If we are able to combine the science and knowledge we have with the indigenous wisdom it will allow us to balance things out. Nature is by design chaotic and within the chaos there is a constant ebb and flow of energy and life expressions that make the whole ecosystem work.
