On Aljazeera today there is a couple minute feature on how 29 states in the U.S. are experiencing drought and how corn crops are being impacted. At one point in the video they feature a politician saying that he is "sending an extra prayer every day for rain." Aljazeera hints that this is really the only thing he can do. Right? WRONG!!!
It's time to start finding creative solutions to these new issues that monocultured corn is starting to create in a world with 391 parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere and growing. This isn't a dry summer, it's a tiny preview of our reality. By tiny I mean, it is going to get worse than this and it's going to get a LOT worse if we don't put an end to our harmful practices now!
