 Ecological Farming Changed My Life

My name is Gabino Lopez. I was born and grew up in a Guatemalan village and later became a small
farmer there. The biggest problem in my life was that we never had enough food or money. But, 21
years ago I started doing things differently, and that changed my life. I began using plants around my
fields to stop erosion and began using natural fertilizers. This was very good for my farm.

So, I joined some other colleagues and went to agricultural classes in San Martin. I stopped burning my
fields yearly and changed many others ways of working on my farm. This improved things a lot.

Soon, friends began asking me to help them and I began giving other farmers information and learned
to speak in front of groups. In 1979, I became the leader of a team. At first, I was afraid, but my
friends helped me, telling me that I could do it. The next year, I became a manager, and spent the next
five years as one.

We have shown that ecological farming is highly useful for most village farmers. Also, learning about it
has been very important for me. I am happy to help many farmers and give them information because
that’s how we are making a better world.

It makes me feel good to know I have helped my people.

BALLOONING

In the past few years ballooning has become a popular sport in the UK. Although it is still quite
expensive compared with other sport, many people now think of a balloon flight as the perfect answer
for a birthday present or a particular occasion. Some businesses also entertain their staff or visitors
with a balloon ride and may even buy their own balloon to advertise their business products.

One of the best know balloon companies in the UK is based in Bristol in the west of England. Flights are
available throughout the year and last at least one hour.

They usually take off soon after sunrise or a couple of hours before sunset, but they do not fly if is
raining or very windy. No special clothing is necessary other than outdoor clothing and either walking
shoes or boots.

It seems that once people have experienced a balloon flight they can become so keen on the sport that
they want to have their own balloon. No two flights are ever the same and people find the sport
different and exciting. The company in Bristol trains people to fly their own balloons but warns that it
can be a very expensive hobby.
