Soil your undies in the name of soil conservation
LETHBRIDGE — The Soil Conservation Council of Canada is encouraging people to recognize National Soil Conservation Week and they want you to do it in an unusual way.
The organization is launching the #SoilYourUndies campaign. It’s an experiment for the kid, or scientist, in all of us.
The Council wants people who care about soil health to bury a pair of 100-percent cotton undergarments, to witness firsthand the activity that happens right under your feet.
After a couple months buried, there shouldn’t be much left of your undies, if there is good biological activity in the soil. Healthy soil is full of living organisms, which sustain us and are the foundation of a thriving civilization.
