Dirt! The Movie was inspired by William Bryant Logan’s book DIRT: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth. It connects our deepest positive multi-denominational religious values to the ground beneath our feet – among other amazing perspectives on the subject. The book itself was written in a cathedral.

Dirt! The Movie is one of the most powerful, most influential, and most important documentaries I have ever seen. Of all the planets in the known universe, only Earth has a living, breathing "skin" formed over the course of countless millennia. Our entire world is dependent on the health of our dirt, and it is safe to say that we don't even consider dirt and soil - it's probably at the very bottom (if even on) our list of things to improve our environment and incorporate green and sustainable business practices into our company's standard operating procedures.

Why should we care about dirt? With more than half the people on earth living in cities, what’s the big deal about something we work hard to keep out of our homes and streets? As it turns out, dirt – the earth’s living soil - is a huge deal when it comes to our sustainability, resilience, adaptation to climate change and protection from its effects, in fact our very lives.

Please remember that above all our film emphasizes that soils are living breathing systems. And that one of the best actions we can take to help those eco-systems is to test our soils and share that information. So we invite you – heck, we urge you - to participate in The Living Breathing Dirt Test. It's fun, easy to use, scientifically valid and demonstrates that your soil is alive and breathing. How alive? That’s what you will be testing. More >

Dirt is dying in Afghanistan 26 years of chaos will do that: constant warfare, extended drought, deforestation, de-vegetation, declining soil fertility, falling water tables, salinsation, widespread wind and water soil erosion, a nightmare Afghanistan now faces the complete eradication of its forests. So there will be more floods, avalanches and landslides. And millions more displaced Afghans. Afghanistan’s long-term environmental degradation is caused, in part, by a complete collapse of local and national forms of governance. More >

How we manage carbon is key to dealing with climate change. And dirt is key to managing carbon. Soil is the key life support system for ecological functions: biomass production in agriculture and forestry; storing, filtering and transforming nutrients, substances and water; biodiversity of habitats, species and genes; the physical and cultural environment of all human activity; the source of raw materials....you get the idea.
