Save soil - Sadhguru

The journey aims to inspire at least 3.5 billion people & will include engagements with leaders of all 27 nations to urge them to initiate urgent policy action to Save Soil in their countries.

 London’s Parliament Square was full of activities on Monday when environmentalist and Yoga Guru Sadhguru took on a 30,000-km motorbike tour on his Save Soil awareness campaign across Europe and the Middle East en route to India.

The 64-year-old yoga guru donned his biking gear for the 100-day tour ahead, to Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague over the course of this week. After a series of along the way, he is aiming for a homecoming in New Delhi in 75 days to celebrate Bharat’s 75th year of independence.

It’s extremely important that we act now. I’ve been talking about this for over 24 years, but the solution can only happen when there is a positive policy in every nation, Sadhguru says.

It is still snowing in many parts of Europe and we’ll be going through that on a two-wheeler. At this age, it’s not really a joy ride. So why am I doing this? Because over 300,000 farmers have committed suicide in the last 20 years. Not just in India, across the world this is happening one of the main concerns is soil depletion, he adds.

The Save Soil Movement, launched as part of the spiritual leader’s Conscious Planet initiative, is aimed at turning the world’s attention towards dying soil and growing desertification. The focus is on getting countries to institute national policies towards increasing the organic content in cultivable soil.

Whether on the cricket field or on the field of life, if we are to play well, the soil has to be well. Time to come together and turn things around. Let’s make it happen, he said. 

The Save Soil campaign aims to inspire at least 3.5 billion people, or 60 percent of the world’s electorate, to support long-term government policies to revitalize the soil and reverse its depletion.
