In our earlier article about Gisele’s Vogue Hong Kong cover story, we noted the very sad reality that the supermodel with the biggest voice on climate change and especially saving the Brazilian rain forest is losing her battle.

The Amazon rainforest could die completely in our lifetime because the brilliantly beautiful, caring Earth Mother Gisele Bündchen can’t plant new trees fast enough to save it. New exhaustive research on the Amazon rainforest confirms the reality that the Amazon rainforest is now a net-positive contributor to greenhouse gases on planet Earth. Previously the Amazon rainforest functioned as a global carbon sink, ‘swallowing’ far more carbon from the atmosphere than it emitted.

Most recently Gisele is the executive producer of ‘Kiss the Ground’, narrated by Woody Harrelson, with interviews with Bündchen, her husband Tom Brady and Patricia Arquette. The hopeful message of the documentary deals with the topic of Biosequestration or the capture and storage of the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by continual or enhanced biological processes.

The documentary is positive in our tears of environmental loss. Looking at how changing our soil-enrichment policies away from pesticides and over-fertilization can have dramatic impact on carbon absorption globally.

See Gisele’s trailer for ‘Kiss the Ground’ in our earlier article and also a 2020 post 'Carbon Cowboys': Saving Our Planet Starts in the Soil' Says Peter Byck AOC Sustainability. There IS reason for HOPE, and in the case of carbon cowboys, we’re talking real farmers and ranchers — probably many of them Republicans.
