The Soil of Discontent: What Buried Underwear Reveals About Our Relationship With the Earth A recent experiment in Switzerland has shed new light on the state of the country's soils.
By enlisting over 1,000 volunteers to bury their underwear across the country, scientists at the University of Zurich have uncovered disturbing patterns in how land is managed and its impact on soil biodiversity.
The project, aptly named "Proof by Underpants," aimed to raise awareness about soil ecosystems while generating scientific data.
