TO EVALUATE IS TO VALUE

Thanks to this game I found the opportunity to achieve my aims.

I would like to spent my time more efficiently.

Time limitation was my weakness side but in the same time by this limitation I could be able to see some results of my tasks even they were not perfect. I can continue forever to try to reach the perfection but I am also afraid to drawing in the endless oceans. Trying to perfection is my weakness side but in the same time it's my streght point for to be motivated.

I am exciting about the entire organization because even at the aplication stage I could chage something which I desire and now I am dreaming of and believing in further steps.Actually, when I was trying to present myself to you, I started to remember and discover more things about me. It provides to look deeply to my inside.By this ways I can know myself more and I can see my steps clearly.. So I need more experience and I need people who are in the same way with me...

Thanks a lot to you and my friends who were with me on this way for giving the opportunity to get this experience.

Now I know that I am not alone and it motivates me to follow my dreams.
Regards...

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…NOW!

I always have endless projects, which are makes me super exited but never ending!

This situations are one of the biggest problems of mine. But for the first time it is correct project for to keep it forever.

I will keep going on about “don’t use plastic bag, knit your own fishnet bag”

Where ever I’ll go own my journey, I’ll carry this project with me, on the train, on the ship, on the way and at the place which I’ll met with people.

And step by step this “fishnet bag” circles will spring up like mushrooms!

What happened at last 10 days!

>>>>>One of fishnet bag on the way of Africa! <<<<<

Couple days ago I met with Swiss guys Daniel, David and Julien who are on the way of Africa from Switzerland.

Meeting started with such a beautiful French song by their own voice and their own guitar.

Then we started to paint their home-carJ They were need to some African animals for good luck on the way. So by joining lot s of people we create new images for them. By this meeting we shared our stories deeply.

Then I thought one of fishnet bag should join their Africa Journey with their African animals; giraffe, zebra, lemur, turtle…J

I loved this team!

>>>>And the other fishnet bag is growing by the hands of my friend
Alja <<<<

She is really good at knitting something, socks, hats, trousers..

That’s why I am sure she is perfect people for ‘fishnet bag circles’. I am so glad to her because she wanted to learn how to knit this bag.

I am believing  that she will be one of biggest seat for fishnet bag circles.

WE ARE NOT ALONE!

So I started to teach to my friends how to knit fishnet bags! It was hard to find a common spare time, that’s way it is not a Project which can be completed in four days. But as the time passes, I believe in that it will be completed.

In the same time I started drawing how to knit fishnet bags. So everybody who will visit my blog page, will be able to learn how to knit fishnet bags. It will make me happy in the future if I see somebody carrying this bagJ

 

First Step:

We need one small RİNG and STRİNG. That all that we need!

-Take two pieces string (200cm length)

-Do it between 15 and 20 times. It depends of how much big bag do you need.

-Tuck them at the middle and reeve them from the ring.

-Than tie a knot.

And make all of those things for each string couple.

 

Second Step:

-Tie a knot between strings group.

-You should do that until you got enough size for your bag.

 

Third Step :

-When you catch the enough big size, just tie a knot with the end of strings to have a handhold.

-And you can start to use it, you will not need plastic bags anymore!!!

GREAT IDEAS ARE BORN FROM SMALL CAUSES

The list of improvments which I can promote on mine surroundings:

* Let’s do not use plastic bags!

* Let’s do traveling with horses, sailing ships…
* LET’S LİVE İN NATURAL HOUSES
* Let’s leave the cities and recognize our nature, she’s amazing..
* Let’s use the natural energy sources (The Egyptian people found the way. Why we can’t do?)

And I decided to start with ‘Plastic Bag Problem’. It is the easiest one to put into practice because of my current situation. As you know I knited one fishnet bag  for myself to use it instead of plastic bag. It was First Step!

Second Step!

I will promote this idea around of me. And I have realy good situation for to make this real. Because the place that I am living is has a crowd human circulation. It’s a big opportunity to reach the lots of people. In addition that people who are coming here for holiday and climbing, most of them interesting about kniting something. If I start to teach them how to knit ‘fishnet bag’, they will definitly start to knit for theirself. Then butterfly effect gonna be start!
And day by day it can be in fashion!



Third Step!

Furthermore I can draw some diagrams about how to knit ‘fishnet bag’ and I can publish on internet. By this mean I can reach lots of people who are connected with me by network.


Expected Result!

After a while a score of people will stop to use plastic bags, as it was before! Maybe it can take hundreds of years even thought it will be better than make no move!

Because if we don’t move, plastic wastes will live more than us. It s mean even we die our garbage will keep to give harm to mother earth automatically  to ourself!

So we can imagine two different future for hunderds years later,
First; don’t care and live in the garbage!
Second;Let’s move right now and live in the heaven!

SMALL INDIVIDUAL ATTIDUES MIGHT GENERATE A HUGE COLLECTIVE

Many a mickle makes a muckle...

That's why i started to generate waves around of me, firstly with small circles...

Thank you so much for given spirit to me...

AROUND OF ME:

I have been living in a climbing camp whose name is Jo.Si.To Guesthouse Camp at Geyikbayırı/Antalya for six mounht. (http://www.josito.de/)

This area is especially famous for rock climbing. After my graduation, I directly run away from big cities and responsibilities of city life.

Then I found myself here for breathing  some fresh oxygen, drinking spring water,  climbing  at amazing rocks, sleeping with sound of nature and trying to understand way of the  Mother Earth.

 Living in a tent is giving me the possibility to use the minimum resources and it makes me  feel free as a bird:) This makes me happy as well... But there should be still something  to do about wasting less and creating more.

Then i started to thing about REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLING aroun of me..

 REDUCE:

I calculate my carbon footprint, and it is 1,735 pounds of carbon dioxied per year for now. But when I start to recycling newspaper, glass, plastic and metal it will reduce 26 percent. The important missing things was recycling in my life. That’s why I directly started to change something about this.

 

 REUSE:

I grew up in a traditional family and  reusing the clothes, notebooks, books, furnuture etc. was and is still so natural for me. We were doing this to save our money and to not waste the materials, because it was hard to get them. But after a while I started to notice an other benefit of reusing. We have to be sensitive for our nature! Because every thing is produced in factories in these days and that is so harmful for our nature. That's why I start to love reusing more. At last week I started to knit some fishnet bags with my cotton strings to obstruct the using of plastic bags. For next days I will knit more cotton bag and i will sell them to become comman.

 

 

  

 RECYCLING:

After I heard of your second task I felt that I should bring to light one of my old projects which is about recycling the garbage of Jo.Si.To Camp. Actually it was my first idea when I came here. I tried to initiate this system before, but I was the only person who wanted to solve this problem. All we did was talk about the situation, but nothing eventuated . I couldn’t find right time for this project.

And now I am greatfull to you! Becouse you pushed me to do this Project.

Three days ago I went to the Metropolitan Munisipality. I talked with them about recycling problem at the camp where i am working. The camp area is a bit far away from city, but they came at the same day to have a look, what they can do and two days later they brought a huge conteyner for all recycling materials. That was bigger than I have expected and it was faster than the usual Turkish worksJ

Now we are starting to recycle our garbage so it becomes a good change for this area.

She came to Planet Earth on 24 December 1986 at Cappadocia. Where has been shaped by lava..

But the world was a little strange at that time. Expectations of people in society, were more important than one's own wishes. At the beginning she was just a shy child.That’s why she just tried to follow up the system. Than the missions of the system started to follow her…

First mission : Grow up little baby and learn our ethics…

She tried, but she was always too shy to be connected with people. Maybe she couldn't understand the ethics easyly...

Second mission : Continue to grow up and  go to school kids…
She went to school as a normal child and she did very well untill university! Because she has grown enough to think about who i am and what i want?

“Who am i and what i do want?

-I like to create something by my hand…
-I like to design by my mind…
-I like to catch the beauties for every part of life…
-I like quantitative sciences and geometry”

Then she decided to study architecture. She thought that she can be happy at this department. But she was still in the same system. That’s why she couldn’t be happy and she couldn’t find herself at that situation…

Then she escaped!! To the mountains!!
She began to climb to the rocks. She was so happy, peaceful and relax with nature…
In this way she began to improve her connection with nature!

Everything was perfect like this. But after a while the mission of system started to disturb her lifestyle. She lost her way, she started to ask herself:

“What am i doing?

-I am just running away from system! That is not a solution!
-I have to stop it!
-Okay!I have to finish my study and then i can decide more healthy!”

Third mission : Complete your education!

And for the first time she accepted the mission by herself. Then she finished her study in two years. And at the end of her studying she heard something about  “Natural Architecture, Straw-bale Houses, Green Buildings, Earth houses…” She was so exited to learn more about this building type. Suddenly she saw a workshop which is about ‘Ecological and Natural Architecture’  which has been organized by Filiz Telek. It was the most amazing, exiting, joyful event ever, first natural building workshop in Turkey, with brilliant Penny Livingston and Janell Kapoor!  And she found lots of answer  for discover herself more and more…

She found her way! And she got a message from mother earth;





“First whispering from Mother Earth : Help me!
Dear Merve
I need your help to change the system to save all of us.
Now you know how to do it.
You know how to start revolution.
You have some ability to do this as everyone.

Just dream it and believe it.. “

After first whispering of Mother Earth, system stopped to give mission to her. She felt that she jumped to another parallel universe! And she was so happy at that universe. She met lots of people like her who already started to make war with their special weapon to save the Mother Earth. She haven’t been hopeful as much as like that before. It was like a dream for her. She believed one more time that ‘dreams are coming true if you believe…’
After this workshop she joined an other natural building workshop as an assistant. That workshop was especially for architecture students at Karakayalar-Eskisehir\Turkey which was organized by Anadolu University.

 Then she joined a leadership program which is named “Anadolu Jam”. It was organized and hosted by brilliant Shilpa Jain, Filiz Telek and Ayşegül Güzel in cooperation with YES. It was a big meeting with soul sisters and brothers and glorious wisdoms.

And now….Merve asked herself again;  

"What do you want to do now?

-I know what i want to do,

 -I know what is my weapon,

-I need to learn more about my weapon,

 -I need to learn how to use it,

 -I am looking for places where i can get the big knowlegde,

 -I need to know more..."
