Ever wonder what we can do about flooding, carbon in the air, and climate? On January 11, Debbie Reid, Technical Director of the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance (GEAA), talked about how conserving land in a watershed can reduce downstream flooding and capture carbon from the atmosphere, thus helping avert the worst consequences of climate change.

Healthy soils in parks, open spaces, and undisturbed natural areas can hold vast amounts of water and capture a remarkable amount of atmospheric carbon — just two of the many public benefits of keeping land in its healthy natural state. And we can do it right here!
