What happened

Grassland plants transfer large amounts of carbon to soil through their roots, and most of that carbon is stored underground.

Therefore, promoting soil carbon storage can help combat climate change.

Mowing less, spraying smarter give pollinators a boost

Roadsides may not look like wildlife habitat, but a few simple changes to how they are maintained could turn them into much better places for pollinators.
