Our transcription: Thinking of soil as just another pile of dirt is an extremely short sighted notion. Without soil, without dirt, life on land could never have developed and flourished as it has. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve this valuable resource. But, beyond that, it's important that we respect and understand the entire weathering process. Otherwise, we run the risk of upsetting a delicate natural balance of physical and chemical factors that have combined to support terrestrial life for over 400 million years.
