Who’s Peat I hear you ask……Well, Peat is a phenomenal natural resource who’s presence on our fine Earth actually helps us to tackle climate change. Naturally occurring peatlands store more than twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests combined and lock it up tight, so that it does not contribute to the overall warming of the planet. Peat is created by waterlogged soils made of dead and decaying plant material. As peat naturally accumulates over time, it forms peatlands (wetland landscapes).
