Statue “Honor The Earth” Dedicated in Memory of Vic Ormsby At Winona State on Arbor Day 2015
April 24, 2015. Okay: so today, a solution. Build soil! We just dedicated a lovely statue on WSU’s campus. Artist Lynette Power has made a bronze tribute to Vic Ormsby, a lifelong advocate of soil conservation and the “Aldo Leopold” of Winona County. The statue is called “Honor the Earth.” That’s it above…and then take a look at http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/04/24/solution-climate-change-right-under-our-feet. If we want to have a future we need to be sequestering carbon, not just massively excreting it. Let’s do that nature’s way: put it into the structure of plants, then let plants put it in the ground. We need to reverse the direction of carbon, from into the atmosphere, to into the ground. Happy Arbor Day! – Jim
