Worth reading for electricity free cooling in hot, dry climates...

Farmers in rural area without electricity can keep vegetable and fruit produce fresh for weeks by using an energy free charcoal cooling chamber.

A charcoal chamber, reduces the spoilage rate and allows for more time for sale of perishable goods by maintaining low temperatures.

Warmth causes foods to go bad, with ripe tomatoes taking less than four days.

A charcoal cooler can boost the shelf life of tomatoes for more than 30 days.

Charcoal is a bad conductor of heat.
Charcoal has pores that absorb water and prevent the passage of heat from the surroundings thereby keeping the enclosure air cool

The vegetables do not also lose shape due to loss of moisture as a result of strong dry wind that is blowing.

Charcoal coolers work best in regions where the moisture content in air is below the 30 per cent mark because if the wind is warm and saturated, it will have no room to accommodate more water v***r and heat.

The energy free cooler can keep fruits and vegetables fresh for several weeks

Charcoal cooler is what every rural farmer should have on the farm to extend the lifespan of their vegetables and greatly reduce fresh vegetable wastages

Ask permission:
Before cutting the branch of a tree or removing a flower, tell the spirit of the tree or plant what you are going to do, so that they can withdraw their energy from that place and not feel the cut so strong.

When you go to nature and want to take a stone that was in the river, ask the river keeper if he allows you to take one of his sacred stones.

If you have to climb a mountain or make a pilgrimage through the jungle, ask permission from the spirits and guardians of the place. It is very important that you communicate even if you do not feel, do not listen or do not see. Enter with respect to each place, since Nature listens to you, sees you and feels you.

Every movement you make in the microcosm generates a great impact on the macrocosm.

When you approach an animal, give thanks for the medicine it has for you.

Honor life in its many forms and be aware that each being is fulfilling its purpose, nothing was created to fill spaces, everything and everyone is here remembering our mission, remembering who we are and awakening from the sacred dream to return home.
