Attitude to Climate Change

I think I am doing my bit for the planet having been stuck up a tropical mountain in the Philippines cut off from the rest of the world for the past several months planting trees. It was a taxing experience because we went as a family with my daughter and baby son and had many problems with the climate and wildlife (including the natives). We lived in a small house that we have there but it has no water (except rain) or sanitation and we slept on a bamboo floor. We have been back in Cyprus for a few weeks but it has taken this time to recover, the baby had actually lost weight while we were away!We definitely earned our carbon credits this time. The good news is that we managed to plant another 8220 trees making the total around 12500 so far. We will have to do one more stint to plant another 5000 or 6000 more seedlings later this year and that should complete the planting of the land we currently hold however I am considering buying more land because I still strongly believe in this venture. We did all the admin properly again and all the new trees have been inspected by and registered with the ministry in the Philippines.
