Remineralize the Earth is a non-profit
organization incorporated to disseminate ideas
and practice about soil remineralization
throughout the world. Membership and donations
are tax-deductible. Remineralize the Earth
networks to a community grassroots network that
stretches to every continent.
The book The
Survival of Civilization
by John Hamaker and Don
Weaver is regarded by a growing movement
worldwide as a blueprint for the survival of the
Earth, restoring ecological balance, and perhaps
even recreating Eden.
The remineralization of
forests, farms, orchards, and gardens with
glacial gravel and rock dust is nature's way to
regenerate and fertilize soils. During an Ice
Age, as glaciers grind rock to a fine dust over
millennia, a fertile soil is created. Adding
finely ground gravel dust to soils is a
tremendous boost to organic agriculture and can
make it truly viable by adding up to a hundred
elements and trace minerals needed by all life.
Rock dust also nourishes the microorganisms in
the soil, whose protoplasm is the basis of all
living things.
There is evidence to
suggest that as forests begin to die off
worldwide, giving off carbon dioxide, the
climate of the Earth is altered, triggering the
transition from the warm interglacial to an Ice
Age. We are hastening this process with the
burning of fossil fuels. Undertaking the task of
remineralization is urgent to restore our
agricultural soils, to save the dying forests in
the temperate latitudes, and to stabilize our
climate.
Remineralization
revitalizes soils by imitating natural processes
and using materials that are a result of
glaciation, volcanic eruptions, and alluvial
deposits.
