- Using field measurements from the county’s project sites, University of Washington researchers calculated 2.29 metric tons of carbon credits and only 0.135 metric tons of debits (from truck and equipment emissions). This means 17 times more carbon is being stored in the soil than is being released to the atmosphere.
It may be counter-intuitive, but the little bits of you and me treated to become biosolids are helping with climate change, phosphorus depletion, and all the while growing great gardens.
