New forest adds 10% rainfall
Gaviotas is a relatively famous eco project. It has been going since the early 1980's. They began planting a Caribbean pine tree in the otherwise barren llanos of eastern Colombia.
The presence of the forest has altered the local climate by generating an additional 10 percent rainfall, which also supports Gaviotas' water
bottling initiative.
You can read more about them here:…

Eco friendly boxes
Hey check these out:

After use, rather than being thrown away the boxes are planted.
The resulting trees and the carbon they sequester are later trackable.

Simplicity
Do the hard work needed to find a simple solution. As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”—and it is the key to this type of design work.
I believe its the key to design in general. This principle can be applied to many aspects of problem solving.
This also can mean other advantages such as lowering costs and keeping it simple for locals to understand it, replicate it and improve it themselves.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
