In a daydream Archaela had when she was four years old, she saw the earth as if on a split screen. And again, when at the age of fifty it was as though around the world she’d been. Asked to choose between a barren earth and a fertile, abundant one, she chose a blue, blue earth. Thus, was her vision to purify the air, literally and figuratively birthed.
This first stage of Archaela’s awakening to her task is portrayed on the Blue Blue Earth logo. Plant forests at schools and get children to reconnect with trees planted in circles of biodiversity. Through this exposure would the earth’s natural forests be saved. And children freed from brick-and-mortar classrooms – outdoor classrooms, recreational, meditative and contemplative spaces these afforestation projects were meant to be.
