Is soil an important ingredient in your every day life?
The answer is yes, and here are a few reasons why:
* Last night you slept in a building built on soil.
* You drink water that flows through soil and is cleaned by the soil.
* You breathe air that comes partly from plants growing in the soil.
* You even wear clothes made from plants that grow in the soil.
Soils make our lives possible. We build on them, play on them, drive on them, eat food grown in or raised on them, take medicines from them, wear clothes we wouldn't have without soils, drink water that wouldn't be clean without soils, breathe air we wouldn't have without the plants and trees growing in soils. The entire earth—every ecosystem, every living organism—is dependent upon soils.
