Should we wait for some new and also expensive technology to solve the CLIMATE CHANGE problem?
OR
Should we start with the already best technology available to us that has its origin even before us?

We are reviving rivers, re-wilding degraded lands, creating jobs for people & reducing carbon footprint through reforestation. Together, let's make India a showcase for Climate Action! https://t.co/Ce64AUTHMN

"The world's forests are a shared stolen treasure that we must put back for our children's future"- Desmond Tutu. Yes, it's possible to put it back. Plant a forest today & offset your unavoidable carbon footprint for a better tomorrow. #WorldEnvironmentDay https://t.co/HJncxofTOY

"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another" ― Chris Maser. This #Earthday, can we create a forest instead of destroying them, while there is still time ? https://t.co/zxGlvtp8YD

Introducing our 2nd Role Model.
Alaap is building native forests in Kumaun using the Miyawaki method, a proven methodology which helps grow native forests faster and more biodiverse than traditional methods.

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe because its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them..... Anonymous

Watch this space for #RakhiOnTrees become a big movement over the years to come. Kudos to the initiator @BhavreenMK much good wishes for success inthe future

[Alaap @alaap_forests]

And that's why Alaap is working to bring back native forests in #Uttarakhand. The connection between #forests and #water is undeniable.

[Indiatimes @indiatimes]

"Even then, the Himalayas are fast becoming water scarce. One out of five villages in #Uttarakhand face a #water shortage in #summer, and it is not uncommon for a woman to walk 10 km to fetch water for her household’s daily needs."

Thrilled to see the New York City Tree Alphabet come to life. Here’s a sneak peek of the first draft of the font. Soon we’ll be able to write with #trees.

In #Uttarakhand, #farmers are slowly shifting away from hybrid seeds to traditional varieties. They find traditional #seeds better, more #resilient to the climatic conditions of the region and well suited to #organic cultivation.
