Carbon reduction ouught to be about kicking corporation into reduction as consumers are a much lower percentage of the issue. And deforestation (now as compared to was) is as much a Palm Oil issue as anything, which is a food product issue. Then saving soil is more of a general agriculture issue combined with irrigation and it's salt salinity, plus runoff, and...

I'm with you on focusing on corporate and industrial emissions first, and account for something like 90% of the emissions, IIRC.

Deforestation has a lot of roots in ag (in South America), and mining as well. These industries also have soil disturbance associated with them.

Saving soil is more of a general agriculture issue
