45. Dirty
Dirt contains the beginnings and the ends of all lives on earth. A handful of it holds promise for the future, the stories of the past, and a few million microbes. This month on TPH we’re connecting with this wonderful ecosystem. We’re going barefoot, getting gardening, talking dirty and clean, and exploring the ecosystems underneath our fingernails. Join us, and don’t bother with the soap.
