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.

I am very much interested in telling this knowledge to the young generation and show to them how the traditional methods can be used and adapted to the modern problems like the climate change. Maybe the old wisdom of our ancestors that is based on the land, the wind, or in our grandmothers' stories, is the key to solving the environmental problems more efficiently than some of the current inventions. Besides, utilizing the ancient wisdom, the switch to the renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can drastically cut our carbon footprint. This change not only lessens the effects of the climate change but also generates new jobs and thus leads to the sustainability of the economic growth. Besides, the adoption of energy-saving habits like using the efficient appliances and the improvement of the insulation can be the main road to the achievement of our climate goals. The conservation of biodiversity and the capture of carbon are the essential tasks that are based largely on the protection and restoration of the natural ecosystems like the wetlands and the forests. Through the processes of innovation, the formulation of legislative reforms, and the promotion of the behavioral changes, we can all together, design and implement the climate solutions which will be effective and will guarantee a healthy world for the next generations. The time to begin the planning for a sustainable future is today. Thus, by combining the old and the new, the actions of big and small, we can create a world that is more resilient and sustainable. Hence, we should take this chance and promise to create a good legacy for the upcoming generations. The commitment to the environment is the main reason why this studying is done.
