White River Junction, Vermont : Chelsea Green Publishing, c2015. Subjects Environmental protection -- Citizen participation.   Sustainable living. ISBN:  9781603586177 (paperback) : 1603586172 (paperback) Description:  227 pages : color illustrations ; 26 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Two Percent Solutions for the Planet profiles fifty innovative practices that soak up carbon dioxide in soils, reduce energy use, sustainably intensify food production, and increase water quality. The two percent refers to: the amount of new carbon in the soil needed to reap a wide variety of ecological and economic benefits; the percentage of the nation s population who are farmers and ranchers; and the low financial cost (in terms of GDP) needed to get this work done. As White explained in Grass, Soil, Hope, a highly efficient carbon cycle captures, stores, releases, and recaptures biochemical energy, mitigating climate change, increasing water storage capacities in soil, and making green plants grow. Best of all, we don t have to invent anything new a wide variety of innovative ideas and methods that put carbon back into the soil have been field-tested and proven to be practical and profitable. They re mostly low-tech, too, relying on natural resources such as sunlight, green plants, animals, compost, beavers, creeks, and more. In Two Percent Solutions for the Planet, White expands what he calls the regenerative toolbox, to include holistic grazing, edible forests, biochar, weed-eating livestock, food co-ops, keyline plowing, restoration agriculture, bioenergy, aquaponics, animal power, Farm Hack, bees, bears, wildlife corridors, rainwater harvesting, native seeds, and various other projects from across the United States, as well as in Canada, Europe, and Australia. These short, engaging success stories will help readers connect the dots between diverse, exciting, and pragmatic practices, and inspire them to dig deeper into each individual story and concept, energized by the news that solutions do exist.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 White   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.706 Wh   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
