Yes...I believe in it too, only take a little to sustain & to keep living with nature

It's nice that Native Chileans are doing what they can to combat climate change. However, we can't rely on a third world country to solve our global crisis, especially when the world's superpowers continue to expand oil pipelines and fracking.

I have one in my garden. Yes, they grow slowly. Very slowly. I've had it for 10 years and it's only about 1 m. You need patience.

Focus on green energy. Windfarms are one of the best natural green energy sources every country should start building and benefiting from. 🌱👌🌴💖🌿🌷🌏
