Have a good day , you are welcome
To come to the point: We have destroyed our
environment, our own properties and we are destroying
the future of our children.
The pictures show the area we are living and working in.
We have lost in the last ten years about half of our
productive environment and have already lost in the
decades before hundreds of thousands of trees. The
marriage of the devils forest fire and missing water
management destroyed our properties and with it most of
our unique sustainable Olive tree and St.Johns tree
habitat.
We all know the still living trees, who have might seen the
Romans invading or the Ottomans enjoying their fruits.
We have to conserve this existing natural habitats by
altering our attitudes to the land we are living on. And
with. We need each habitat to protect the biosphere, the
global womb we come from
The soil that feed us is called dirt.. This is unacceptable
for us. It is not true. It is a lie. Agro chemical trust are
manipulating our language to boost profits and outreach

What hundreds of generations, our forefathers and
mothers set up with their life energy, in our
generation it is no value. The land. Leaving the
productive wealth of our lands to the devilish goats,
what will the children say?
On Sunday we prayed to God and the rest of the
week the devil does its work? We have to choose
now.
Do we reset our soils and do we protect our land
against the invasion of chemists and tour operators?
Or are we satisfied with filling our bellies and a new
car?
Since thousand of years this island is occupied by
foreign invaders and now, only some generations
later, globalisation and monopolization occupy it
again and carries the fruits of this fertile island again
away without caring at all.
We have to take our development in our hands, we
can not trust the words of profit maximization and
accelerated cognitive capture attacks
We have to break free. We, the inhabitants of Crete
are the justified occupants, as far as we care with all
our means for it. We have to be resilient against
Sirens singing us from the wealth of a live without
consequences
It is all in our hand
The reason

The solution The fertility and natural wealth of Crete has brought up
diversities of mind and social thought. Crete originated
the design of the ancient Greek pantheon, the familily
of the Gods. The European civilisation is shaped by
this thoughts in its daily live since than. The world
copied it.
This thoughts were though by men/women. But
created by regular water supply and a favourable
environment for human development. Crete has ever
had and will ever have self sufficient water supply. The
geographic position in the middle of the Eastern MED
with three mountains of 2400m above NN, located at
the cross road of the Mediterranean cyclone tracks,
enables a splendid biodiversity over time. Where
water and soil meets life is beginning.
In consideration of the seasonal precipitation we have
developed regional adapted integrated water
management systems. By applying this systems,
specifically rain water harvesting of rain water run offs
on our land, we will achieve decentralized supply and
highest forest fire protection efficiency. We can not
grow without ensured water supply..
If there is land and water soil will be. By caring for and
supporting of this process we can reset our eroded
and desertifying land to a source for the production of
highest quality healing plants and health food products

Ponds and Wetlands, where there was a Macchia in
before, what values are embodied?
Enhanced land use value, increase biodiversity, biomass
and humidity gradients of the atmosphere. They are the
sources for increased resiliencies in our certified
diversified organic agriculture.
Diversified organic agriculture integrates biosphere
hotspots in order to generate an ecologic balance with
highest levels of resilience to be absorbed in the farm
products. The increased immunity information supports
human balance with the biosphere..
We all here know Thomas and his former wife Petra,
which was taken home in her young age. In respect of
her never ending efforts for ever more flourishing rocks,
we called our environmental centre Casa Petra.
Our special thanks is to this two foreigners, who came to
show us their love for our environment.
In respect of the field they have prepared, we want to
present you BIOCrete, a privately by common interest
organized project to enhance land use values for further
generations and to shift our lives to responsible unity
with the natural environment
