A very interesting effort from rural dwellers in practicing sustainable climate friendly farming is using Leaves of plants such as Banana in wrapping or serving food. Amazing!

A very interesting aspect I find great in my community is that they don't fell Trees indiscriminately.
A violent wind once uproot some trees in my community sometime in May, 2020. That was the most devastating catastrophe we have experienced.
Good news! The trees which served mostly as wind breaks protected my community from the destructive wind.

We don't use inorganic manure here rather we use dumpings from domestic animals to boost the soil fertility.
