Who we are
Remineralize the Earth (RTE) is a Northampton, MA-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization engaged in a variety of projects both domestically and internationally that promote the use of finely ground rock dust and sea-based minerals to restore soils. Through our education and outreach, projects, research, and advocacy, RTE facilitates a worldwide movement that brings together gardeners and farmers, scientists and policymakers, and the public to regenerate soils and forests around the world, increase the nutritional quality and yield of food, and stabilize the climate through carbon sequestration.
We work with local and virtual volunteers on a program management system called Basecamp. Our team is made up of federal work study students as well as graduate students, researchers, and other professionals.

Position Description
We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate our database. Through conferences in Brazil, there are many studies available in Portuguese that we would like to have translated into English. Some tasks entail:
- Contacting authors in Portuguese to translate their paper into English.
- Contacting authors for legal permission to post the full study.
- Working with RTE’s Portuguese to English translators either in SmartCat or Basecamp to have studies translated.
- Organizing and uploading research in our database.
- Finding online research to integrate into our research database.
- Cooperating with our RTE volunteer who uploads the new studies into the database.
Please email us your resume and/or LinkedIn URL and let us know how many hours per week that you would like to contribute and some good times to speak with you and we will get back to you with a time. We will send you an invitation through Uberconference or we could speak Skype to Skype. This is a virtual position with flexible hours.
We look forward to speaking with you!

Mission Statement
Remineralize the Earth promotes the regeneration of soils and forests worldwide with finely ground rock dust as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, creating fertile soils much as the Earth does. Not only do we need to recycle and return the organic matter to the soil, it is equally vital to return all of the mineral nutrients which create fertile soils and healthy crops and forests.

An international NGO that networks information and research on soil remineralization to gardeners, farmers, ecological activists, scientists, policy makers and the aggregate and stone producers whose by-product is a source of remineralization; to promote further research and projects, from small to large, cooperative to businesses that would benefit and create a healthier environment. We have a website with an online magazine, forum, research, and many other resources.
