Care for our earth
Kyoto agreements as well as the CO2 reduction programmes are set out by our world leaders.
A lot is being said and done in and around offices. No individual can refrain from taking his/her own responsibillity in this matter. Climate change is urgent and affects us all. We, the inhabitants of this earth are serving our own purpose by taking our own future in our own hands. Any little gesture or actions counts. We act, where ever we can, on this issue and are taking our part.
Care for Natural re-uses rejected glass jars. They are washed and sterillised in solar ovens on the roof of our factory.
Care for Natural has a glass jar collection point at Maroun’s supermarket and X-Press supermarket where our customers, urged by a label on our products, can return our glass jars.
Care for Natural has her own Baobab pilot growing mini plantation, Moringa trees, Aloe vera plantation, organic women garden, beehives and some protects 5000m2 presently left as bush for wildlife and bees.
Care for Natural is starting a new project seeking to plant 1 hectare of Moringa plants to help to fertilise sadly damaged land due repeated fires.
The Moringa Oleifera is a superfood, so rich in anything the body needs, that is can solve malnutrition and all it’s serious consequences, rather easily.
The Food & Nutrition Project also seeks to plant 1 hectare of Cajanus Cajan, a Pigeon Pea small tree from which nutritious beans can be collected for years in a row. Meanwhile the soil will be fertilised by the nitrogen released by the bean plant. The harvest will be used to educate and stimulate local women cooking for schoolchildren to integrate more beans in school-lunches. As well have some 1000 beans trees been planted in compounds throughout Gambia and Casamance, distributed by our staffs.
The Food & Nutrition Projects seeks to expand the number of beehives from 25 to 100.
The Food & Nutrition Project will add another 2800m2 bush for wildlife
The F&N Project will seek funds to deepen a present low point in the land, to achieve a rain water collection point.
The F&N Project will make water available through a solar borehole
Finally the F&N project hopes to build volunteers accommodation to house volunteers, experts & students at low cost at the site, creating “voluntourisme” which will help creating jobs and income and hand-in-hand development adjusted to the communities needs .
The indigenous trees, of great value to the natural habitat and the balance of our native ecology, are rapidly fading from our skylines.
Another obvious reason for deforestation is logging for timber, building, and export. Firewood is rampantly high in demand.
Nature cannot keep up with people’s need for trees.
We need to help grow and seek alternatives. We have in 2018 build some 100 fuel efficient stoves in compounds, not only to prevent burns in children but also prevent tree logging.
The biodiversity in larger numbers needs urgent attention and support!
We have documented, grown and planted out many indigenous species of trees. Some of them are difficult to propagate.
- Care for Natural wishes to help bring back the original species to the original land.
- Help to regain a biodiversity
- To help implement the initiatives set out by those in office dealing with world politics.
- For our own present! and future benefit.
