  6. Got some peat for our garden. Buying peat for a garden is very destructive for the environment and peat wetlands are disappearing at a horrific rate. But this was left after someone dredged their fish ponds and dumped it near our village store . At first I thought there was a lot of white plastic in it, but on closer inspection it turned out to be shells of swan mussels, Anodonta cygnea, a sign that the ponds were free of toxic substances.

University of Waterloo: Canadian Peatland Data Portal debuts as a landmark tool for climate research and policy. “Peatlands cover upwards of 12 per cent of Canada’s landscape and store more carbon than all other ecosystems in the country combined… Yet until now, information on these critical ecosystems has been difficult to find.

  22. "The degradation of peatland by human intervention has left about 15% of the world’s peatlands drained, releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, from the carbon stored within peat soils. CO2 emissions from drained and burned peatlands equate to 10% of all annual fossil fuel emissions"

  30. So, even if some peat (Canadian peat) is allegedly harvested *sustainably*, I'm thinking this article lays out the problems with using #Peat succinctly and without the hype!

    #CornellCooperativeExtension - #PeatMoss and #Sustainability

    Excerpt: "Besides #overharvesting, #PeatBogs, #Fens and #PeatSwamps are threatened by climate change, habitat and nearby developments that can change the nature of surrounding areas. They are sensitive to disturbance. There is research that suggests that harvesting of peat bogs adds to climate change by releasing carbon stored in these bogs.

    "Peat bogs and fens in America are where #CarnivorousPlants, like #sundews, #bladderworts and #PitcherPlants, and #BogOrchids live side-by-side. The acidic nature of bogs/fens and humidity create the perfect environment for peat moss, orchids and carnivorous plants. #Peatlands are also home to other species that rely on their composition. #Turtles, birds such as #PalmWarblers and #EasternTowhees, #snakes and #grouse, to name a few.

    "There are alternatives to peat moss that are more sustainable. #CocoCoir is a material made from the fibers of the coconut husk. When dried, it is packaged into bricks. Once re-hydrated, it can be used in garden containers to both absorb water and keep the soil from drying out. It can be used in the potting mix or on top of the soil instead of mulch. #RiceHulls can be used for drainage in container plant pots. Both coco coir and rice hulls are sustainable. Additionally, #compost can be used in place of peat moss. Coco coir, rice hulls and compost can all be used alone or mixed in with a commercial potting mix to make using peat moss more sustainable."
