We will show the exciting new movie, “Common Ground,” a film that explains how regenerating the world’s soils has the potential to rapidly stabilize the Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies.

Peter Sergienko has been working for several years to draft and pass federal climate legislation to stop climate pollution that is commonly known as “The Earth Bill.” The Earth Bill network is now seeking senate sponsors,
