Do you know you are part of this soil?
If we don't save the soil now then we will be the compelling reasons for Life Extinction.

There are only 60 years left to fertile this soil otherwise in 20 years we will face food scarcity within our lifetime here.

Let us join Sadhguru awareness campaigns to the world needs to realize the needs of policy to save the soil.

Objectives:
At the end of the presentation, the students will be able to:
a. feel the need of saving the soil  (after feeling; role-playing that the soil is dying)
b. explain to friends in their own words why we need to save the soil (after learning from the presentation)
c. create Pledge pages and/or write a letter to the President to support this Movement

1. Demonstration (Rich Soil vs Sand)

Soil (with organic content) vs Sand (Soil without organic content

A. This is rich soil (show them how it feels).
B. This is sand (sprinkle the sand and pour it into the container by hand).

2. Intro to Presentation
Rich Soil is where these (real fruits on hand) came from. Which of these is your favorite?

(Varied answers)

Because of this richness, the plants grow, bear fruit, and support humankind and animals.

But did you know, that the Global Agricultural is already degraded by 52%?
and will become degraded over 90% by 2050?

What does that Mean? When this Rich SOil loses its capacity to grow food, losing its organic content to it. It becomes SAND, it becomes a desert. It is not capable of cultivating and producing crops.
(HOLDING THE SAND)

What happens when the earth's soil turns into sand, into a desert completely?

What happens to your favorite fruit? how will it be produced? How will you grow it?

(varied answers from students-paint me a picture game-role playing by group)

2.1 Group Presentation - Paint me a picture of a world without rich soil

3. Presentation Proper: Pieces of evidence

3.1

- UN Says We Have Soil Left Only For Another 60 Years

- Over 90 % of earth’s soils could become degraded by 2050

& More Statistics in the Asia Pacific

3.2 Student Engagement - What is your solution?

3.3. Solution-SaveSoil - Presentation

Let everyone know that soil has to be saved. For our planet and our tummies :)

How?

SaveSoil Movement - is on to solve this.

Highlight of movement:

- Rally 30000 km 100 days 27 countries. by a 65-year old Lone Motorcyclist

This movement is important to me because I have children and I also have health problems. I would love to ensure that my children and the next generation of Earth live on with healthy soil and healthy crops. I would want to do everything to ensure, that all of you here, never run out of the fruits you so love.

How does it feel when you are hungry?
When you do not have food?

How do you become when you don’t get to eat on time and go hungry? Cranky! :) Let’s see what we can do to make sure you do not run out of your favorite food or even any food at all.

How will you ensure that your voice will be heard??

Wouldn’t it be great if we get our President's support? How about writing a letter to him together and ask for his support to save the soil? We can ask him to get all his friends from work to join the movement too!

Output: Video Pledges and Letters from Students....

Are jobs will have no significance if we don't act to save soil as there will be no food to buy from what we earn in the next 20 -30 years.

The Un says we have only about 60% of soil left and our country is suffering from organic agriculture.

Let's make everyone aware of the real crisis that we are going through and save soil.

Having a meal together..
Me: Hey bud, enjoying the food?
Bud: Okok lor.. As usual lah, why?
Me: We may not be able to enjoy this good stuff in the future man..
Bud: ??? Why suddenly say like that? Based on what?
Me: Recently saw this dude la riding motorcycle all across the world or something.. 30,000km I think.. Promoting awareness on Saving Soil or something..
Bud: Then? Not related to the food we are eating now what..
Me: Eh you think ah, its very related you know..
Bud: Got meh?
Me: Your food ingredients many import one mah. You know Malaysia's rice mostly import from overseas one or not?
Bud: Not grow ourselves one meh?
Me: No wor, Malaysia is one of the Top exporters for Oil Palm one oh. This means that we deforest vast areas of land just to grow palm oil, therefore, most food like meat la rice la mostly import one.
Bud: Oh.. then ok la why? Doesn't affect the food we eat what. Why related to palm oil and an old man riding motorcycle.
Me: Its about the soil. Most countries nowadays not taking care of soil, or not doing it the right way. Soil quality drop, food production drop, quality drop, nutrients drop, sooner or later our favorite foods like this Nasi Lemak might not be accessible or might not even be able to grow liao. UN reports say 60 years of farmable soil left.
Bud: Aiya, long time to go mah. Besides, we can't do anything about it also. Government have to do it mah.
Me: That's the point, government might not change their policies if we don't provide awareness. So all we need to do is join the #Savesoil movement, and share these concerns.
Bud: Share where? Facebook ah?
Me: Youtube, instagram reels, facebook, all got. Share only. And share to friends and family and more lah. The more people know, the more conscious we will be dealing with this inevitable issue.
Bud: okok send link send link.
Me: Onz onz.

Do you know that in years to come the organic content in soil will drastically reduce turning it into sand.

According to the United Nations, we have soil left for only another 60 years.

Sadhguru, a 65 year old is on a rally for 30000 km in 100 days in 28 countries on a motorbike. This movement aims at raising awareness for a change in policies at a global level.

We need to let everyone know that soil is an integral part of us for humanity to survive.

I would want to do everything in my capacity to save soil to ensure we have abundance of food and water for our future generation to survive.

Imagine how the future generation will not know and taste the fruits and vegetables that we consume and enjoy today.

My friend, you can also make a difference by joining this movement to save soil for you and me and for our future generation.

Man, there might actually not be watermelon in the world in 60 years from now.

Apparently there's been a 30-60% drop in protein in veggies comparing from 1950 to 1999. Not only that, but a drastic drop in minerals and nutrition in general. This has happened due to soil degradation and if this keeps lots of life might become extinct.

Sadhguru is looking at creating this awareness in the world and is gonna ride 30k kms!!! from europe to india on a motorcycle by himself

The only solution to this is to create awareness (3.5 billion ppl) so that governments ensure there's a policy to revitalise soil. I'm trying to share with as many people as possible (atleast 200-300 in my circle).

Do you know why organic farming in our country is failing is due to soil depletion.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi XXX,  had you heard or read about it, we will only have 60 years more to enjoy soil harvest. Over 90% of earth soils could become degraded by 2050. This is a report by UN.

One obvious thing could happen if the food supply diminished. I am sure you wouldn't want your children or grandchildren to face such an issue.

A possible solution to this is to create awareness to more people. Recently, I am participating in a movement called Save soil.  It is initiated by Sadghuru, who hopes to create awareness to as many people around the world on soil related concerns.  Ultimately, it is to create a better life for our future generations.

We targeted 3.5 billions people through all volunteer soil buddies.

I can send you some links on this movement to join as a Soil buddy.  Essentially, you will need only 10 minutes of your social media time to be a soil buddy.

Do you like to join me as a soil buddy for the movement?

Hello! Just a random question. What will you feel if your favorite food is no longer available in the market?

Making a Bold Statement: Right now, we are facing some serious food production problems that could lead to inadequate food supplies to people.

Other: Without sufficient soil, our ability to grow food is threatened.

Supporting Evidence:

According to Gray (n.d), a study of 82 sites in 21 counties by Iowa State University showed that in the 50 years from 1959, soil structure and levels of organic matter had degraded while acidity had increased.

Highlight of movement:
-Rally 30000 km 100 days 23 countries. What this movement aims at.

Solutions:
Create awareness and try to involve them with the project. Collaboration is a must.

Connect everything to why is this movement important to you?
I would want to use my platform and my voice in creating solutions to the problems that the world is facing.

How does this movement concern other person?
Imagine the reaction of your family if there will be no food in the table?

Imagine when you are craving for something to eat but it is not available?

How can this person impact the movement further?
We are all part of the solution. We cannot do our part, nothing will happen. It will only worsen the situation. We need to act. Today is the right time to make actions.

Do you know, according to science, life as we know it evolved from microbes. And 87% of life are still sustained by these microbes that are living in the Earth's soil. However, these microbes are becoming extinct very rapidly. UN is predicting that 90% of these microbes could become extinct by 2050. If it does happen, not only will insects and animals begin to disappear, but there will not be any agricultural soil left for us to grow our food, thus we will witness the process of our very own extinction. The solution may be unclear at the moment, but the first important step is to spread this awareness to everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
what do you thjnk is the biggest threat to humanity right now?
we lose 24 billion tims of soi la year
iran loses 2 billion, so thats one twelfth of world soil loss, in a country that has only one percent of land in the world
if there is no soil, there is no possibility for food or any kind of infrastructure.

so theres a yoga teacher from india whi has been working on saving soil since i was born. he is niw 65 yo. he will be travelling through europe and middle east for 30,000 km. he has said we need to make 60 percent if the olanet aware, that is 3.5 billion people world wide and 50 million in iran.

at first i though soil is just an excuse to save water and filter air or stuff. but experts are saying this is THE most important issue for humanity. without soil we cant eat food. food doesnt grow in the supermarket.

kmagine a mother having a child to see him die, the child dying is bad, but the mother who has to live with it is in horrible pain
imagine all the people in our country whocare bwgging for food
can you imagine what world will we be living in in just 20 years.

so there us a program called earth buddy, where you can get trained get more information about soil and you can spend just ten minutes a day to spread awareness. if you want, there are also trainings for those who want to spend more time thatn that in anyway called planet champion training.

Imagine a world without flowers, plants and trees. (Some can close their eyes, give time for kids to imagine).

Now, what do you think will happen to the animals? (Wait for answers).

How about to us? (Wait for answers).

(You may give additional prompts like
- we know some of the food that animals and humans eat come from plants)

When plants are all gone, everyone here on earth - all the animals and humans - may one day be gone, too.

You know it's sad but this is already happening around the world. There are 820 million people who are suffering from hunger. And this is all because of what we call soil extinction.

When we say soil extinction - it means that our soil, where we plant our fruits, vegetables and other crops - is dying or it won't exist anymore.

That would be so so sad if there's no more soil, right?

But we don't have to worry, because we can do something about it.

Have you heard of Soil Extinction? I hadn't until very recently and I genuinely didn't know soil could be extinct.

I wanted to know what it means for soil to become extinct. The reasons behind it. When I explored a bit, I found out that for soil to be soil, it has to have organic content. Leaves, animal dropping, earthworm and microorganisms make up the organic content in the soil.

The industrial farming has depleted these organic content in the soil, resulting in 67% of nutritional drop in the food we eat. UN Food and Agricultural agency says there is only 60 yrs worth of agricultural soil left on this globe.

So how can we reverse this? Well, first and foremost by bringing awareness to this problem.

Sadhguru, a mystic and a visionary from Isha Foundation in India is going on a bike rally criss-crossing 24 countries, 30,000 km, 100 days, commencing on March 21st, 2022, to bring to people's notice around the world to this issue. This is part of a global movement called Conscious Planet, which hopes to bring at least 3 million voting population aware and ready to act.

I chose to be part of this movement, because of the track record of Sadhguru and Isha Foundation in mobilising such movements in the past, such as Project Green Hands and the recent Rally for Rivers/Cauvery Calling. I trust them and am willing to give my time and effort to this movement, to make sure I don't push this problem to my grandchildren to deal with.

I hope you can be a part of this movement. You can join by becoming the Earth Buddy by clicking on this link(savesoil) Thank you for your time!

Hi Shella, do you know our children might not have enough soil to harvest and therefore not enough food!

According to UN , we have soil left only for another 60 years. Over 90% of the earth’s soil could become degraded by 2050.

So, Sadguru is creating an awareness to the world, by rallying on his motorbike  solo, 30000km across 24 countries in 100days.

I have join the conscious planet to support and create awareness to people. Would you like to join the movement so that you can share to your friends as well?.
I'll send some of the videos for you to get a better understanding.

Do you know farmers are committing suicide not only in India but across World like USA , Europe.

Because soil is not fertile enough to produce food. Imagine growing tree in desert. They are facing same hardships.

The problem does not lie with farmers and any debt but the soil degradation.

By 2050, 90% of Earth's soil could be degraded, unless we act now. UNCCD, 2020

So Sadhguru has taken this initiative to spread awareness about this soil degradation by rallying 30,000 km in 100 days across 24 countries

Increasing awareness about soil degradation is important for me as I want to have good food security for my family and next generation.

Can not see they struggling to buy vegetables in future that we are able to buy right now.

I am sure you also care about your family and their future needs so this is also important. Why don’t you too join this movement with me and share it with your friends.
