Every Hectare Counts 1% SOC Increase Challenge
We'll each cover 127km (4.1km running/walking/day) for the month - this represents the number of additional million tonnes of carbon a 1% increase in Soil Organic Carbon across Australia's agricultural land would sequester.
Rationale:
- 426 million hectares of agricultural land
- 12,700 million tonnes of carbon estimated currently
- 1% increase would be 12,827 million

The Joys of travel
Thursday 30th Oct
Of all my conversations, one that stood out was the new innovation of short staple wool that is being scoured in Australia (not sending raw materials overseas), then spin and able to be pulled into the cotton production system. A 70% cotton 30% wool blend garment had 85% of the properties of wool - wicking, low smell, thermal regulation and longevity. I was standing with the head of raw material sourcing from Nike when this conversation occurred, and Nike is researching the use of the fabric in sportswear. Let's hope we can get away from synthetic leisure wear and find a natural fibre alternative!
