Diversity Digest: World Soil Day

Diversity Digest is a weekly reflection written by staff from different areas of our school

Did you know December 5th is World Soil Day?

Soil isn’t just dirt — it’s the foundation of life.

Healthy soil grows our food, filters water, and supports ecosystems that keep our planet alive.

But soil is at risk from pollution, erosion, and overuse.

This World Soil Day, let’s take action:

  • Compost food scraps.
  • Reduce chemical use.
  • Plant trees or native plants to protect and rebuild soil.

Healthy soil means a healthy planet and a better future for all.

Why It Matters:

Soil sustains our food, biodiversity, and climate — yet over 33% of the world’s soil is degraded.

Honouring King Rama IX:

Celebrated on His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great’s birthday, recognising his leadership in soil conservation through the “Soil Doctor” initiative and Sufficiency Economy Philosophy.

How You Can Help:

✔️ Use fewer chemicals

✔️ Compost food waste

✔️ Support sustainable farming

✔️ Raise soil health awareness

✔️ Join tree or soil care projects

Let’s protect the ground we stand on.
