For Peat's Sake, and Ours

We're all gonna die. Here's a quote: "Peatlands, which represent no more than 4 percent of the earth's terrestrial surface, store twice as much carbon as all of the world's forests. They not only filter water that yaks, cattle, sheep and fertilized farmlands pollute, but they also hold back that water in times of flood and store it during extended drought." Every time that peat is removed, tons of carbon gets released into the atmosphere. So don't use peat pots or peat moss. Informative, for sure, but we're all gonna die.
