How could something so ‘natural’ be so bad? Soil erosion is natural after all. However, when we change the landscape from forest to yards, streets, farm fields, shopping centers and roads, we accelerate soil erosion.
• In the USA, soil is eroding at about seventeen times the rate at which it forms.
