Communicating A Collection Of C Constructions Concerning Climate Change & Controls To Consider

I keep talking about Climate Change, hoping that citizens of culture will do what needs to be done, cultivating consciousness in Agriculture – our common concern. Civilization must change Climate Change!

Iriga Kiderra shares “How To Talk About Climate Change So People Will Act” (10 May 2016, University of California, universityofcalifornia.edu; both images from this webpage):

What can you do about climate change? The better question might be: What can we do? … Researchers show in a new study that framing the issue collectively is significantly more effective than emphasis on personal responsibility. … that people are willing to donate up to 50 percent more cash to the cause when thinking… in collective terms.

My citizen contribution is continuing communication, so here is my collection of climate change concerns & causes:

Chemical Cultivation –  Otherwise known as “Chemical Agriculture,” the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to grow crops for animals & people. Such applications generate greenhouse gases that generate Climate Change.

Climate Change – The 21_­^st Century phenomenon of Global Warming, which gives birth to supertyphoons that bring about devastating rains & floods, rising sea levels and sinking of lands. We humans came to be warned about the catastrophic consequences of Climate Change when American Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change co-won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

Collaboration – Whatever countries do and citizens come up with, it better be through collaboration. Climate Change is a common concern, and its control must be collaborated upon and coordinated.

Communication for Community Development – I am an inveterate blogger, and the latest name I use to describe my journalism is “Communication for Village Development in the 21st Century (CoViD21).” Why CoViD21? “It takes a Village to combat Climate Change!”

Composting – collecting organic wastes (i.e., manure and food) to decompose and turn into natural fertilizer.

Consultations – As Climate Change is all over, so must citizen actions be in consultation with other citizens, or at least every collective awakened to the certainty.

Controlled Tillage – Also “Minimum Tillage.” Others recommend “No-Till Farming,” meaning zero disturbance of the soil except to insert the seeds or seedlings. Zero or minimum cultivation retains everything the soil has, including richness and moisture, which crops need abundantly.

Conventional Cultivation – Otherwise called “Chemical Cultivation,” which see.

Corrective Cultivation – Technically called “Regenerative Agriculture” (RA), term coined by Robert Rodale of Rodale Institute. RA calls for common concerns in cultivation that help Nature recuperates.

Cover Cropping – cultivating crop/s on fields normally bare after a cash crop is harvested (nrdc.org). This keeps soils covered and reduces erosion, increases water retention, and improves soil health.

Cover, Permanent – Crop or any other vegetation continuously grown to prevent soil erosion.

Crop mixing – Otherwise called “agroforestry” – where farmers and gardeners mimic the conditions of a mini forest by growing trees and shrubs along with crops & livestock.

Crop rotation – Cultivating a leguminous crop after a favored crop to enrich the soil naturally.

Finally, I must not forget to thank The Creator for continuously caring for me as a communicator for village development!@517
