[Terrapreta] Nice neat susinct Terra preta summery.

[Michael N Trevor]

I need a nice neat, short concise and clearly understandable
summery of just what terra preta was, is, and could be.  This need to be in 
simple
easily understood English,  particularly suitable for people who use english 
as a
second language.

I think this is something many of us may need as well. I frequently start to 
explain to say
elected politicians and literally see their lights go off,  the interest 
fade and then they start looking
for the nearest exit. Or perhap it is something a number of us should try 
and pound
out. We may all be enthusiasts but that doesn not mean others are: dirty 
black charcoal in dirt UGH.
And you are trying to tell me it can promote self sufficiency, reduce 
carbon, improve soils, and even help reduce poverty, sure call me next 
century...Does anyone have any specific suggestion?

Thank you
