Every Hectare Counts 1% SOC Increase Challenge

Our Australian Downforce Team (https://www.downforce.tech/) has set up this fundraising challenge for the month of October (well ok it may edge into November as I work on my fundraising).

We'll each cover 128km (4.1km running/walking/day -> or you can check out the team description to see how we scaled for cycling and swimming) for the month.  The 128km was a representative number of additional 100 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

Counting every KM

Tuesday 28th Oct
The last month has been a super fun challenge working on completing the km's set out for this fund raise.  It has been a great month of walking, cycling and swimming and really getting to take in the beauty of spring in the Adelaide Hills.  
After what felt like a season of decent winter rainfall, following on from the droughts of the last couple of years, the response of soil and the vegetation was a delight.  A month of lots of flowers :).  
Now for me what seems an even bigger challenge, figuring out how to fundraise!  Gone are the days of primary school, when we would have our sheets and ask our parents and their friends to sponsor us as we would embark on "Big Walks".  Thank you to those that will support me, and I hope you can enjoy a few of the photos I took during this month.... (oh gee whiz seems there is only the possibility to upload a single image)

Thank you to my sponsors for helping to save the planet!
