#36: Chris Churchman - Soil, the Forgotten Carbon Sink
Show Notes

Soils matter! Chris Churchman explains how protecting green areas and improving soil quality is crucial for fighting climate change.

 Chris is a landscape architect and strategist, and the founding Director of Churchman Thornhill Finch landscape architects. As well as having decades of experience designing stunning projects like the gardens of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, Chris is interested in the role of soil in tackling climate change. He joined me to talk about the potential for soil to play a much bigger role in sequestering carbon, how new development on greenfield sites releases a lot more carbon than we currently account for, and some thoughts on urban greening tactics.
