From: | Senator Elder A. Vogel, Jr. |
To: | All Senate members |
Subject: | Resolution - International Year of Soils |
In the near future I plan on introducing a resolution recognizing 2015 as the "International Year of Soils" in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's many agriculture and natural resource industries depend on an understanding of soil diversity and soil fertility requirements in order to produce commodities for our communities. In addition to producing commodities, soil: filters water, acts as a rooting support for plants that provide the oxygen we breathe and the fibers for our materials; contains anti-producing bacteria; acts as a structural support for our infrastructure. Please join me in cosponsoring this resolution. |
