A committed translator<\/h1>\n

My sustainability path<\/h2>\n

I am a translator based in Brittany (France). I also lived and worked as a translator in Costa Rica. This country changed me.<\/p>\n

Also called the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has declared 25% of its territory as national park or protected area, because it hosts 6% of the world biodiversity.<\/p>\n

In 2023 I settled in North-West of France (Brittany), in Finist\u00e8re, which is a farming area. Unfortunately the region is quite famous for using pesticides, I am not directly impacted though.<\/p>\n

Out of 370 km of the region land embankments, 350 km were levelled off.<\/p>\n

70% of the French wooded countryside hedges have disapeared since the 50’s.<\/p>\n

23 500 km of the hedges have been eliminated each year between 2017 and 2021<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0My Sustainable life challenge\u00a0\u00bb certification<\/h2>\n

\"sustainable<\/p>\n

In 2023 I joined 1000 French participants from the whole world for My Sustainable life challenge. During 6 weeks, I learned about conscious ways of consuming, eating, moving. Of course I already practiced many of these but we also took actions that could be challenging and reflected our comittment.<\/p>\n

Actions<\/h1>\n

Comittment through my work<\/h3>\n

Less printing, use of \u00ab\u00a0text to speech\u00a0\u00bb for quality assessment<\/p>\n

No use of IA to translate<\/p>\n

Sobriety of my Website (no video, no heavy pictures) to reduce my digital footprint.<\/p>\n

Calls\/Visiocalls<\/p>\n

Less travel – personal and professional. For professional meetings, choice of low carbon emissions transport\u00a0 (Visit to a client by train to Annecy in 2022 or meeting collegues of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Fran\u00e7aise des Traducteurs)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My environment
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Agricultural land<\/p>\n

Creation of a vegetable land, orchard and micro forest<\/p>\n

15 kg of \u00ab\u00a0Ray Grass\u00a0\u00bb seeds planted in May 2023<\/p>\n

Drought resistant tree species planting: oak, twisted willow tree, willow<\/p>\n

Local species: pine tree, poplar<\/p>\n

No embankment cutting: moors, brambles, fern, ivy, elders<\/p>\n

Manual thistle elimination<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon…
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Eco-pasture (goats and sheeps)<\/p>\n

Committing a part of my turnover to tree and hedge planting<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Results<\/h1>\n

I already noticed the presence of:<\/p>\n

– fauna -> field mouses, hares, sparrowhawks, pheasants<\/p>\n

– flora ->areas left without mowing\/cutting – wild flowers<\/p>\n

-insects -> bees among others<\/p>\n
