The conventional footwear industry is a dirty business; it produces more than 20 billion pairs of shoes a year. About 300 million pairs of shoes end up in landfills each year, with most taking 30-40 years to decompose because they’re predominantly made up of plastic and polymers.
If the world switched to regenerative farming, 18 billion tons of carbon could be sequestered into the soil annually. That’s like taking 3.8 billion cars off the road every year.
Regenerative agriculture reverses the solution impact, it reverse the carbon emission, preserve the ecosystem, it increases the biodiversity and promote fertile soil and land. We need healthy soil if we want healthy ecosystems (and we want healthy ecosystems because honestly, they’re essential to life on Earth)
