This NGO claims they can Stop Climate Change - 
and they need your help

You can now be part a the pilot project that can change the world forever.
Afforest4Future is running a crowdfunding campaign to pilot a Desert Greening Method that could green the Sahara and sink historical carbon emissions.

Support them now!


Did you know that we are currently losing 12 million hectares of arable land every year due to desertification? This is about 23 hectares per minute! And 30% of all world's agricultural land is already highly degraded…  where will we get the food to feed the growing population? Our planet will soon be home to 9 billion people, and providing enough food and vital resources for all will be a great challenge for our generation.

Dams and man-made lakes are some of the main reasons for land degradation in fragile alluvium ecosystems. As the river continues to bring the same amount of dispensed sediments (same as before it was dammed), the mad starts to accumulate at the bottom of the reservoir. With time, this problem gets worse and worse - reducing the amount of available fresh water and hydropower. Namely more than 42% of the world’s dams face siltation problems in the next decade, with an estimated cost of siltation at over $21 billion per year.


Afforest4Future has a system design that will tackle exactly these issues. It was developed during four years of doctoral research at TU Wien done by one of founders of Afforest4Future, Vesela Tanaskovic. They offer an holistic approach to solve one of humanity’s burning issues.
Their patent-pending methodology desilts desert lakes and prolongs their life cycle and efficiency whilst utilising the by-product to produce fertile soil from desert sand and rock. Sounds awesome, isn't it? They excavate the silt that is endangering the dam, and transport it to a processing facility, where it is treated and further pumped into desert. Like that, new soil is created and locked in with multiple species, enhancing the biodiversity in our agroforestry system. 

They are now running a KATANA Fundraising Campaign to run a small pilot project and generate awareness of the these issues. Their dream is to make the world’s deserts green and ready to welcome exceptional population growth - so there's little to no time left. They need to implement this as soon as possible.
You can support them with EU10, EU30 or even EU900 for a full ski week. After all, we won't have any more snow if we don't stop climate change soon. This is cool, smart and can really make an impact. Don't think it twice - spread your love for trees and support Afforest for Future in this green adventure.

  4. Very interesting pilot project.
    But I think they should approach the local Government first, before going for public fund-raising. That will authenticated their claim.

Hello friends, after a short break, I return to my further work on the blog. There is a lot going on these days in the men´s style landscape. Streetwear is still a dominating force, but so is unisex clothing. Fast fashion grabs a lot of men´s consumer dollars. There is uber-expensive examples of luxury everywhere you look, and also a huge audience for the intentional, ironically cheap style. Options for men are pretty limited when it comes to self expression through fashion.  One of the great online shopping sites is Zaful. This website is a great idea for online shopping.  They offer customers very affordable prices. This website presents large selection of amazing things for men and women. And all of the things you can buy for very affordable price. What do you think? Materials used for their clothing are materials of high quality. I believe you will be overwhelmed with the site and with their business, quick delivery and of course ... great wardrobe. This style is very mainstream an…

Tigha jacket - German style

Hello friends. This style is very mainstream and fashionable. For this post I wear a combination which is always modern and attractive, that you can wear to a night out, for a walk around the city, go to university, school or trip. It will still be a relaxed style, but you will nonetheless demonstrate that you are thinking about your appearance.
I wear a long black winter jacket. It is made of several parts and with combinations of materials. It's great quality, very warm but also heavy. jacket is a Tigha brand, it's a German very popular brand, look at it. They have a lot of things to offer in various styles. Jeans and dzemper are classical, but of great quality. In this autofit is an accent on jackets and boots, so I will talk about them a little more. I'm delighted with boots. Currently my favorite piece of footwear for the winter. They are very warm and comfortable. In color that does not go out of fashion and which fits with every style other than elegant. My big recomm…

Sreet style Munich - Germany

Hello friends,  let’s face it: Most guys simply aren’t as interested in style as we are. They might enjoy the example of fashionable clothing, but rarely do they glean as much joy from shopping and following trends as women. Not to mention, options for men are pretty limited when it comes to self expression through fashion. For example, a woman can take something like a pink or red skirt and make it work at the office or out at night, while men don’t really have that luxury. So, as a result, most stick to the same old jeans and tees. However, some men do want ideas on new ways to wear things, but don’t always know where to look. Girls aren’t the only stylish bloggers, as the number of insanely dapper male-focused fashion blogs out there are growing every day, offering a variety of street style shots, shopping advice, and styling tips for guys of all tastes. I think that one of the good blogs is the one you just read this text.  For this post I wear a combination which is always modern a…
