Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wordpress-seo domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Conservation International has launched a stunning campaign called Nature Is Speaking<\/strong> (#NatureIsSpeaking). The campaign features the voices of famous actors speaking as nature. Visit the website<\/a> to watch the series of short films and to learn more about CI\u2019s \u201chumanifesto.\u201d (Essentially, nature doesn\u2019t need us. We must take care of nature if we humans expect to survive).<\/p>\n

This is powerful stuff. The campaign is stunning in its sophistication and beauty\u2014and stunning in its statistics, which can be overwhelming (and frankly, depressing).<\/p>\n

The good news is that there is<\/span> reason to hope. By creating a conversation, Conservation International seeks to change the way that we think about nature. That it\u2019s not an endless resource available to us to plunder and destroy as we see fit.<\/p>\n

Here at Cascade Minerals, we are on a mission to bring life back to soils that have been overworked, overused and depleted of essential nutrients. \u00a0So while we think that all the films are great, we\u2019re partial to Edward Norton as The Soil.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a well-respected actor, Edward Norton is on Conservation International\u2019s Board and is the United Nations Ambassador for Biodiversity. Here what he has to say as the voice of The Soil:<\/p>\n
