All things biochar: production, gh gases, soil, crops, water, etc.

California Biochar Association is moving forward with fund raising and other matters. One topic that came up was the idea of "aligning" with other organizations. At which point I immediately asked "What does "align" mean?"
I suppose to align is to somehow collaborate with and support other groups, but I am curious as to specifically how? How could other groups help CBA advance biochar use and related issues in California? Please let us all know your thoughts by responding to this post, and perhaps we can discuss here rather then via endless emails to a select few.
Thanks Milt for posting this question:"What does "align" mean?"
My view is that the California Biochar Association (CBA), should take the lead in defining the future direction of the use of biomass residues (waste) generated by agriculture and forestry in California. We should define what we advocate. At this point, I use Thor's definition in his latest email which prompted this discussion. According to Thor CBA advocates: "biomass resource conservation into biochar carbon sequestration, healthy soil first with energy component as value added by-product."
This message needs expansion and explanation as part of our mission statement, in my opinion. With that done, we should look for other organizations and individuals who are willing to support our mission and advocacy. That is what "aligning" means to me in Thor's message.
Anyone else care to comment?
