I have for 30 years been an ecologist, researcher, writer, and organic grower concerned with the health and survival of humanity and the Biosphere. I think that humanity must quickly emerge as the wisely generous species on Earth if the growing momentum of eco-climatic and health degeneration is to be reversed. I am grateful to have met the brilliant ecologist John D. Hamaker in 1978, being thrilled to learn how local and global soil remineralization with natural gravel (mixed rock) dust, to grow high-quality crops and trees, is such a powerful and practical foundation for regenerating the socio-ecosphere. John and I subsequently collaborated to author The Survival of Civilization, produce 11 issues of Solar Age or Ice Age? Bulletin, plus write numerous articles for the magazines Remineralize the Earth, Acres USA, Living Nutrition, and others.

John Hamaker died in 1994 at age 80, but his devotion to saving humanity from the vast and generally unforeseen consequences of soil demineralization helped inspire me to keep sharing his crucial insights, along with others supportive of "Earth Regeneration" and "Reverence for Life." From 1997-2002 I researched and wrote To Love And Regenerate The Earth: Further Perspectives on The Survival of Civilization, which includes additional Hamaker writings in its 540 pages. Both Hamaker-Weaver books remain free in the Agriculture section at www.soilandhealth.org  as a planetary public service. I continue "promoting" the books and assisting Remineralize the Earth and its worldwide network in various ways. Let me know if I might assist you in your/our work for the health and regeneration of humanity and the Earth.

Sat 2pm: Regenerating Paradise With Rock Dust, Generosity and Healthful Living
If we want to have a "sound mind in a sound body" on a harmoniously sound planet, it should be possible if we follow the principles of "health by healthful living" and give generously back to the Earth so it can again be a healthy Paradise. The alternative of ongoing degeneration, disease, destruction and possible extinction somehow seems less appealing...

Sun 11am: Replenishing the Earth as the Foundation of Health
Our bodies come from the Earth and should eventually return to enrich it. In between our birth and "recycling," let's learn how to live and eat healthfully with awareness of the role of soil fertility and our ability to enhance it with composts, rock dusts and other pure natural fertilizers."
