"The Last Taboo" & "The Joy of Dirt"

If you're interested, click HERE to the lead story in the latest issue of MotherJones.

While MJ is a decidedly lefty journal, I felt the article takes a self-critical and wide-ranging look at an issue most people really don't want to grapple with, overpopulation. But it's a concern that certainly connects to a myriad of issues in the world--climate change, loss of topsoil, consumption patterns of developing countries, and so on.

And if you're hankering for even more information and possible solutions about this topsoil issue, take a look at "The Joy of Dirt" by Larry Gallagher in Ode Magazine, a magazine that describes itself as a magazine for "intelligent optimists." Click HERE for that.
