Save Soil is launching Cultivating Change: Save Soil Movie Event (featuring Common Ground film) to raise awareness in our community about the soil degradation crisis and how we can be part of the solution. Cities around the globe will be hosting an event featuring a film titled Common Ground, produced and directed by Kiss The Ground organization. This event will be free and open to the public.
Quick reminder for our GeoTerps community: if you miss our monthly newsletter, the Be Global Bulletin, you’re in luck—we’ve added it to our blog with its own dedicated page.
While it’s a department news bulletin for GEOG majors, everyone—majors and minors alike—can now catch the latest updates.
