Description: Allying with Nature is both a personal and an awareness project aimed at calculating my ecological footprint and then implementing actions to reduce it, keeping count of it. It includes not only actions to reduce carbon and waste, but also proactive actions to encourage and preserve nature in our surroundings, including urban balconies and restoring house gardens to a more natural and local animal and plant species approach, as I have done for 20 years in my house in the forest. The project is shared on a website blog and social networks so others can be inspired, learn and evolve together with me in a shared experience, and their results will be added together with mine on a scoreboard showing the numerical estimated result of reduced tonnes of carbon.

Why I love this solution: It has been my aim for the past 20 years to blend with nature rather than be an external part of it, and I feel in debt with it to find a balance, a fair trade between us. I promised Nature I'd fight for it, but I've done it alone. Changes won't come from governments or companies, it will come from individuals pulling together and creating the need for these companies and governments to adapt. I strongly believe in the power of each individual, and the strength of the sum of them.
