Looks like it might be good.
I didn’t realise Americans pronounce the post in “compost” like post in “fence post”.

OK. So long as it stops the “world is going to end next year” panic about the approaching apocalypse.
I can see how it can work. Spread fertilizer all over the world’s forest floors to promote tree growth to soak up atmospheric carbon dioxide. And washoff creates algal blooms of diatoms which soak up even more. I’ve been in favour of that for several years.
Oh yes, and killing off soil fungi helps a lot, too. But I’m not so in favour of that.

The trick is to NOT depend on Chemical Fertilizers that result in run-off etc.
but rather to go ‘back to nature’ … planting cover crops WITHOUT the use
of conventional PLOWS that disturb/disrupt/destroy the surface then allowing
natural decomposition to kick off the process of composting… and that’s still
“just scratching the surface” …
another bit is free-range herding to replace feed-lots
reducing packaging waste
recycling & composting
I Good Beginning would be listening to and learning From Organic Farmers
that have been Preaching & Practicing SUSTAINABLE LIVING for Generations.

Nup…
part of it is rethinking things such as Fungi Are Friends
