"Soil is the quiet foundation of nearly everything we eat, drink, and breathe - and it's disappearing fast. Over half of the world's topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years."
"The UN's FAO warns that 90% of the world's soils could be degraded by 2050. One teaspoon of healthy soil holds more living organisms than there are people on Earth."
"The Save Soil movement is a global awareness campaign backed by the UN's FAO, UNEP, UNCCD, WFP, and IUCN. The East Bay event is organized by local parent volunteers."
The Save Soil Walkathon is a free, family-friendly event taking place at San Ramon Central Park on May 3rd. This one-hour community walk is part of a larger movement across over 38 cities in the US and Canada. The event aims to raise awareness about the critical state of soil health, as over half of the world's topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years. Participants can enjoy a relaxed stroll while engaging with simple soil displays designed for children.
