Revolutionary Climate Action
In the retrospect of my childhood, the memories of the visits to the farm with my parents are a mixture of useful advice and interesting traditions. From my grandpa's idea of planting sweet potatoes underneath rocks to my grandmother's statement that we should plant fruit according to the moon cycles, to my dad's funny invention to control the wind during the rice or cocoa sifting, all these practices were both the usual and the interesting to me. Gradually, I began to think about these habits, it made me to think where they came from and how useful they are. My family usually avoided the cultural traditions which they considered as those which they called the eccentricity of my grandparents. However, my professional career was the climate crisis, where I now, as a consultant, help farmers to set up the resilient agroforests. The road that I have traveled has pushed me to start the Cacua Project, a project that is centered on the creation of the agroforests that are resilient and the collaboration between the farmers to the ecosystems management. Hence, I have combined the old knowledge with the modern research, which has a concrete aspect that deals with the climate change. I have gradually come to the conclusion that the old stories and practices handed down from generation to generation are the most beneficial. The partnering with the farmers, we conducted the experiments that verified some of the traditional methods. In addition, the rocks placed under the crops facilitated the drainage and at the same time it drew the good organisms. The method of planting by moon cycles turned out to be successful in the organization of irrigation and pollination by being in sync with the natural insect activity and the water cycles. Even the wind-whistling technique appeared to influence the air, therefore it was beneficial in the agricultural work. The jewels of wisdom which were taught by the ancestors to us are the ones that gave us the necessary tips for the better way of landscape protection. Ever since I was a young environmentalist, I have been committed to several life choices that elude what I consider good for the planet.

mental health talk
The statistical data shows that I could be one of the people I shook hands with, and it will certainly happen sooner or later, and I will have a mental disease at that time. Every year, it is estimated that about forty-three million people have to face the problem of mental illness. Therefore, it is demonstrated that there is a high rate of mental disease. Thus, why do we still refuse to discuss something that has always been there?
