Biosolids: an assault to our land and our communities

Dark Soil: Ending the Land Application of Biosolids In America

By Jason Fowler on 11/30/2011

I came home the other night to the thick stench of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on the wind. The trucks had been driving past our cabin for days…While you may have never heard of biosolids the battle to stop it’s application on agricultural and public lands has been raging for many years…

Jenny & Tyler: Faint Not (Video)

Jenny & Tyler: Faint Not (Video)

By Jason Fowler on 04/11/2011

Out of this struggle to continually choose sacrificial love we are reminded that it is not idealism or politically-inspired activism but humble submission to the Holy Spirit through whom we can say, like the ancient Hebrew psalmist-king David, “o my soul, faint not, no faint not | o my soul, keep up, up in love”…
