<v Speaker 1>a special guest, actually two special guests joining me. Jason Moras. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>a Grammy winning singer songwriter, Jason Moras. And we also

9
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>have joining us as well, Finnian makes Peace, co founder

10
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and chief strategy officer for Kiss the Ground. We're gonna

11
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>start with Jason Rass. Tell me a little bit about

12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>this event that you're part of on Earth Day and

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>how you got involved in this.

14
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. Well as a musician, well, first

15
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>of all, I grew up adjacent to farm I'm aware

16
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 2>that farms exist, and as a touring musician, I was

17
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>able to see them coast to coast, and I started

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to work with Farm Aid and found myself living on

19
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>a little ranch out in San Diego and realize, you know,

20
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>these practices that I can get involved with, that I

21
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>can apply of my own soil and ultimately hopefully reach

22
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>out to other farmers on my path, and you know

23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that includes backyard gardeners. You know, we all touch the

24
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>earth in some way, even if we're not the ones

25
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>doing the physical farming. To me, you know, I saw

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>it as this opportunity to mitigate climate change. You know,

27
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>we have to build resilience in the face of this

28
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>ever changing climate. And then for the past one hundred years,

29
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>we've been treating our soils somewhat poorly by pouring chemicals

30
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>all over them and depleting our topsoil. So regenerative agriculture

31
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>helps us restore carbon from the atmosphere, rebuild the water

32
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>in our systems, rebuild our nutrient cycles, enhances the soil health,

33
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the air quality, to biodiversities, the equality of our food,

34
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and the economic out comes to the farmer. So it

35
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>was a movement that I just that I have to

36
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>celebrate because we are seeing some victories, and those victories

37
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>can be seen in the films that are coming out

38
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>on Earth Day on Amazon, Kiss the Ground and the

39
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>follow up film, Comedy Ground, which is a feel good

40
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Birthday watch, and it shows you the real traction that

41
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>this movement has been getting and the practices that are

42
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>happening from coast to coast. I think it is a

43
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>really inspiring story.

44
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Very nice and again Finnian makes Peace joining us as

45
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>well a co founder and chief strategy officer for Kiss

46
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the Ground. And I got to say, I think Jason

47
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>ras did a pretty good job a teen it up

48
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>for you. But let's add a little more about what

49
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys have going on.

50
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, perfect, Yes, it's really exciting. So this movement is

51
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 3>seeing such momentum around the world. Jason and I got

52
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 3>involved with this thirteen years ago and he was a

53
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>big part of our journey into this, the co found

54
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Kiss the Ground and move it forward and contribute with

55
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>his songs but also his work on his farm for

56
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 3>regenerat agriculture. But it's truly amazing when we talk about

57
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 3>the droughts, the floods, the fires, our soil is such

58
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 3>a big part of why that happened. Our soil is

59
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>degraded and depleted and a lot of it is almost dead.

60
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 3>So we have an opportunity to rebuild our soil, bring

61
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 3>it back to life through regenerative agriculture. And this is

62
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 3>Jas said. It's scaleable for ranches that are twenty thousand

63
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 3>acres or row crops that are seven thousand acres, or

64
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 3>backyard gardens or three acre farms, whatever it might be.

65
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 3>The practices and principles of our gender of agriculture are universal,

66
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 3>so people can apply them and watch in amazement as

67
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 3>their land heals and all of a sudden there's the

68
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 3>questern carbon in the process for bringing back by a diversity.

69
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>In the process, they're staving money in the process, especially

70
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>as farmers are so important, So this is really incredible.

71
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Crispoground dot com is where a lot of people go

72
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 3>to find more education about this. That's a nonprofit that's

73
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 3>behind the film, the impact partner, but also the inspiration

74
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 3>behind these films. We worked at the directors Josh and

75
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>Rebecca to keel and make these incredible films, and Amazon

76
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 3>were so grateful for them for hosting us. But this

77
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 3>is an incredible time for the movement and if folks

78
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 3>want to join us at ten am specific on YouTube,

79
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 3>Kiss the Ground. At Kiss the Ground for YouTube, we'll

80
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 3>be there with Jason Mraz myself, but also a Smartian

81
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 3>summer houlder resario with Dawstin, Jason Moa and many others

82
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>to kind of have a conversation kickoff if you will

83
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 3>on Earth Day with this a YouTube live, so we

84
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 3>hope you'll join us there with the directors of the film,

85
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Joshnerbeck as well. So it's a really exciting time for

86
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>us in this movement to see this idea spreading thirteen

87
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>years ago and not very many people knew about it.

88
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Again, the website for that film is kisstheground dot com.

89
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple other websites we're going to talk about

90
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 1>here in just a little bit. And again, today is

91
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Earth Day, and for some people, every day is Earth Day.

92
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>For other people, even though today is Earth Day, probably

93
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal to them. But again, each and

94
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>every one of us we get to make our own decisions.

95
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>And I love the fact that you guys are putting

96
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>out some information to give people the opportunity to at

97
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>least find the information that's out there. So thank you

98
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>for that and thanks for your time today.

99
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I think it's a cause worth standing behind. And

100
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>when you watch the films you'll see what we mean.

101
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>This is a real move moment that gives you a

102
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>sense of hope that on Earth Day we can celebrate

103
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Earth and hopefully celebrate Earth for lifetimes to come.
