    The Passing Place with Tom Morton and Drew Ratter: For Peat's sake:
    Sep 21 2024

    Tom Morton and Drew Ratter talk about the brown (and black and blue) stuff: peat, the carbon sink that covers huge chunks of Scotland and most of Shetland. Traditionally harvested and burnt, once thought of as fuel for a power station, and now crucial in the battle for 'net zero'. How can crofters make money out of leaving it be, or restoring places where it's eroded?
