During the burning seasons Sierra Preta moves our mobile reactors from land to land so our members can produce Biochar instead of burning their pruning residues. The process of producing high-quality Biochar with our reactors is simple, and we train people so they can do it themselves.
We take care of the transport and maintenance of the kilns as well as the organisation of promotional and awareness-raising activities on the use of Biochar as an alternative to agricultural burning.
Finally, we have several research projects related to the role Biochar production can play in local renewable energy production or water filtration systems.
To achieve our mission, we need your support!
Why BioChar?
Social Ecological Collective
Our Fundamental principles are not only activities for the environment, open and free access to technology but also social values are extremely important for the way we operate. Our activities have to stand on a social sustainable foundation.
Volunteering is important, but it is also important that people can live off the work they are investing in projects. For this reason we are planning part of our budget into wage and work. We are a collective and for that we are convinced that equal pay is very important. The following criteria will be integrated in the planning of our budget.
- work will be distributed in an equal hourly rate.
- work decisions will be made democratically and in consent.
