Revolutionary Climate Action. AI-Generated.
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.

Enormous, Giant Dark Blob in Vision | Deep Beneath Africa Explained
Main Key Points:- Scientists discovered giant blobs deep beneath the Earth's mantle called Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). One block is under Africa and the other is under the Pacific Ocean. The African Blob is much higher (about 620 miles) than the Pacific Blob. This height difference is likely due to the African blob being less dense and therefore unstable. These unstable blobs may be the source of hot mantle plumes that can cause geological events like supervolcanoes and earthquakes, especially in Africa. The origin of these blobs is still unknown, but they could be remnants of Earth's early history.
