Peat moss is harvested from bogs and fens around the world, but primarily in Canada and Russia. Bogs represent 5% of the earth’s surface and yet they contain more carbon than all the planet’s forests combined. These water-logged bogs have taken carbon from the atmosphere and sequestered it for 10,000 to 12,000 years. As it’s harvested, the carbon is released the carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to a warming climate. Harvesting peat moss also destroys a native habitat essential to the survival of many birds, reptiles, insects and small mammals.
