Cleaning the air and fighting climate change with biochar - chatting with Michael Shafer

The Blue Marble

In this episode we speak with Michael Shafer, the founder and director of Warm Heart, a community development organization serving Phrao, one of the poorest districts in northern Thailand.

Since 2008, Warm Heart has been transforming the lives of many people, addressing issues such as family care, education, micro-enterprise, environmental sustainability, and health care for the elderly.

Michael is also on a mission to reduce smoke pollution by teaching famers how to create biochar - and on this episode that's what we discuss.

What is biochar?

Why is it important?

And how does it help remove carbon?
