Our Soil Team Publishes Comic Book on City Soils!

“Soil in the City” is a comic about living and gardening safely with city soils that may contain lead residues from past uses of leaded gasoline and lead-based paint. The Our Soil team wrote the script and partnered with Kaitlyn Briscoe, Angela Duras, and Madeline Montero for the illustrations. Kaitlyn and Angela are currently undergraduates at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, and Madeline is an alumni.

The Our Soil team also partnered with Aileen Javier of Troy, NY, to complete a Spanish translation of the comic, “El Suelo en la Ciudad.”

You can download the comic book in English here and in Spanish here.
