Speaker 1: is a special day. It's Earth Day and I've got
Speaker 1: a special guest, actually two special guests joining me. Jason Moras. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a Grammy winning singer songwriter, Jason Moras. And we also
Speaker 1: have joining us as well, Finnian makes Peace, co founder
Speaker 1: and chief strategy officer for Kiss the Ground. We're gonna
Speaker 1: start with Jason Rass. Tell me a little bit about
Speaker 1: this event that you're part of on Earth Day and
Speaker 1: how you got involved in this.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Well as a musician, well, first
Speaker 2: of all, I grew up adjacent to farm I'm aware
Speaker 2: that farms exist, and as a touring musician, I was
Speaker 2: able to see them coast to coast, and I started
Speaker 2: to work with Farm Aid and found myself living on
Speaker 2: a little ranch out in San Diego and realize, you know,
Speaker 2: these practices that I can get involved with, that I
Speaker 2: can apply of my own soil and ultimately hopefully reach
Speaker 2: out to other farmers on my path, and you know
Speaker 2: that includes backyard gardeners. You know, we all touch the
Speaker 2: earth in some way, even if we're not the ones
Speaker 2: doing the physical farming. To me, you know, I saw
Speaker 2: it as this opportunity to mitigate climate change. You know,
Speaker 2: we have to build resilience in the face of this
Speaker 2: ever changing climate. And then for the past one hundred years,
Speaker 2: we've been treating our soils somewhat poorly by pouring chemicals
Speaker 2: all over them and depleting our topsoil. So regenerative agriculture
Speaker 2: helps us restore carbon from the atmosphere, rebuild the water
Speaker 2: in our systems, rebuild our nutrient cycles, enhances the soil health,
Speaker 2: the air quality, to biodiversities, the equality of our food,
Speaker 2: and the economic out comes to the farmer. So it
Speaker 2: was a movement that I just that I have to
Speaker 2: celebrate because we are seeing some victories, and those victories
Speaker 2: can be seen in the films that are coming out
Speaker 2: on Earth Day on Amazon, Kiss the Ground and the
Speaker 2: follow up film, Comedy Ground, which is a feel good
Speaker 2: Birthday watch, and it shows you the real traction that
Speaker 2: this movement has been getting and the practices that are
Speaker 2: happening from coast to coast. I think it is a
Speaker 2: really inspiring story.
Speaker 1: Very nice and again Finnian makes Peace joining us as
Speaker 1: well a co founder and chief strategy officer for Kiss
Speaker 1: the Ground. And I got to say, I think Jason
Speaker 1: ras did a pretty good job a teen it up
Speaker 1: for you. But let's add a little more about what
Speaker 1: you guys have going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, Yes, it's really exciting. So this movement is
Speaker 3: seeing such momentum around the world. Jason and I got
Speaker 3: involved with this thirteen years ago and he was a
Speaker 3: big part of our journey into this, the co found
Speaker 3: Kiss the Ground and move it forward and contribute with
Speaker 3: his songs but also his work on his farm for
Speaker 3: regenerat agriculture. But it's truly amazing when we talk about
Speaker 3: the droughts, the floods, the fires, our soil is such
Speaker 3: a big part of why that happened. Our soil is
Speaker 3: degraded and depleted and a lot of it is almost dead.
Speaker 3: So we have an opportunity to rebuild our soil, bring
Speaker 3: it back to life through regenerative agriculture. And this is
Speaker 3: Jas said. It's scaleable for ranches that are twenty thousand
Speaker 3: acres or row crops that are seven thousand acres, or
Speaker 3: backyard gardens or three acre farms, whatever it might be.
Speaker 3: The practices and principles of our gender of agriculture are universal,
Speaker 3: so people can apply them and watch in amazement as
Speaker 3: their land heals and all of a sudden there's the
Speaker 3: questern carbon in the process for bringing back by a diversity.
Speaker 3: In the process, they're staving money in the process, especially
Speaker 3: as farmers are so important, So this is really incredible.
Speaker 3: Crispoground dot com is where a lot of people go
Speaker 3: to find more education about this. That's a nonprofit that's
Speaker 3: behind the film, the impact partner, but also the inspiration
Speaker 3: behind these films. We worked at the directors Josh and
Speaker 3: Rebecca to keel and make these incredible films, and Amazon
Speaker 3: were so grateful for them for hosting us. But this
Speaker 3: is an incredible time for the movement and if folks
Speaker 3: want to join us at ten am specific on YouTube,
Speaker 3: Kiss the Ground. At Kiss the Ground for YouTube, we'll
Speaker 3: be there with Jason Mraz myself, but also a Smartian
Speaker 3: summer houlder resario with Dawstin, Jason Moa and many others
Speaker 3: to kind of have a conversation kickoff if you will
Speaker 3: on Earth Day with this a YouTube live, so we
Speaker 3: hope you'll join us there with the directors of the film,
Speaker 3: Joshnerbeck as well. So it's a really exciting time for
Speaker 3: us in this movement to see this idea spreading thirteen
Speaker 3: years ago and not very many people knew about it.
Speaker 1: Again, the website for that film is kisstheground dot com.
Speaker 1: There's a couple other websites we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: here in just a little bit. And again, today is
Speaker 1: Earth Day, and for some people, every day is Earth Day.
Speaker 1: For other people, even though today is Earth Day, probably
Speaker 1: not a big deal to them. But again, each and
Speaker 1: every one of us we get to make our own decisions.
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that you guys are putting
Speaker 1: out some information to give people the opportunity to at
Speaker 1: least find the information that's out there. So thank you
Speaker 1: for that and thanks for your time today.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think it's a cause worth standing behind. And
Speaker 2: when you watch the films you'll see what we mean.
Speaker 2: This is a real move moment that gives you a
Speaker 2: sense of hope that on Earth Day we can celebrate
Speaker 2: Earth and hopefully celebrate Earth for lifetimes to come.
Speaker 1: Absolutely again. The website is kisstheground dot com. The other
Speaker 1: film is common Groundfilm dot org. I also see one
Speaker 1: hundred million Acres dot org. So there's plenty of information
Speaker 1: out there, guys. Thanks for your time today much again.
