Earth’s current population consists of around 8.2 billion people, but a teacup of healthy soil contains more than 25 billion microorganisms!

Try to not let that creep you out, microorganisms like bacteria and fungi are essential to life on earth. They make vital nutrients available to plants, break down waste, and help combat climate change through carbon sequestration 🌎
