“What if we treated soil as a friend?” The connectivity between soil health, material reuse, soil function and biodiversity is critical to developing sustainability and the low carbon agenda. Christine Murray, editor at The Developer and Festival of Place shares our director Dan Matthews’ insights in her piece “It's time to reset our relationship with nature and each other” 📖 https://lnkd.in/efvRyqrf As a member of the Soils Taskforce, Dan Matthews advocates an urgent, industry-wide change of mindset to champion soil reuse. “Soil harbours 58 per cent of the planet’s biodiversity – a teaspoon of soil contains more living organisms than there are people on earth.” Keen to find out more about the role soil has to play in creating a sustainable built environment?
