Dearest readers,\n<\/p>\n

I’m giving away DVDs of Dirt!<\/em> The Movie<\/em><\/a> signed by the directors
\nto eight lucky readers. Narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, the film is a glorious
\node to the “living skin of the Earth” we so often taken for granted—an homage
\nto dirt, if you will. All you have to do is let me know in the comments below
\nhow you use dirt. What is dirt to you? Is it the compost in your outdoor bin?
\nIs it a badge of honor worn under your nails after a day of gardening? Is it
\nwhat your indoor tomato plant calls its home?\n<\/p>\n

I’ll pick eight winners at random when the contest closes Wednesday
\nat 5 p.m. PDT.\n<\/p>\n

And whether you win the goods or not, you can check out my
\ninterview with one of the film’s directors Bill Benenson<\/a> to get a taste of Dirt!<\/em>. And you can see what my pal Jennifer
\nPrediger had to say about the movie<\/a> when she saw it at the Environmental
\nFilm Festival.\n<\/p>\n

Filthily,
Umbra\n<\/p>\n
