In my opinion one of the first things we should do to effectively go out of this climate crisis, is to educate ourselves.  How do we do that? Well we can read books, attend courses and talks, registre and take online courses and use learning tools available online too. Discuss with our friends, colleagues, teachers and peers about what we have learned and what we may not understand.  Here are some free platforms, hubs, newsletters, that you can access to gain more knowledge of what to do, how to do it and find resources that are available for us to take action and learn.    ..read more

All started in Ecuador....... As you may know, Latin America is widely known as the birthplace of cacao (Theobroma cacao), however, according to recent archaeological research, cacao’s original homeland is Ecuador.

A unique ceramic pottery was found near a small town called Palanda in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, a southern region of the country, containing ancient remnants of cacao dating back to 3,300 BC.
