M.L. Daneel wrote some years ago about African Earth-keepers and about interfaith actions in Zimbabwe to keep people and earth together and used sustainable. I was very moved some years ago when I got to see a short film on how they managed to get people of different African initiated churches and traditional religions representatives to have a service together with sacramental parts side by side and then together planting new trees. The idea was that trees planted under these circumstances were much more looked after then traditional aid tree planting or so to say"secular planting".
Now I wonder if this is still happening in Zimbabwe? We need much more of tree planting in sub-Saharan Africa. For many reasons. To keep the earth from erosion, to keep the water in the earth, to catch CO2 from the atmosphere and some more reasons.
(If anyone knows about this project, please comment.)
