Description
A message from our Charity Partner: Protect Earth
A
Right,
hi,
everybody,
I
think
we
may
be
live
now.
Maybe
I
hope
you
could
see
me
it's
all
a
bit
strange
being
backstage,
but
welcome
back
to
kcd
uk
conference,
I'm
here
with
danny
we're
the
co-host
for
the
afternoon
danny.
I
believe
we
possibly
have
do.
We
have
messages
from
from
sponsors
or
anything.
We
need
to
do.
A
Okay,
we'll
come
back
to
those
later,
so
I
just
threw
with
daddy
off
the
bus
okay.
So
what
we
do
have
for
you
this
afternoon
coming
up
in
a
second
we're
gonna,
be
talking
to
a
charity
partner.
After
that
we
have
a
talk
on
ebpf
from
our
one
of
our
co-organizers
josh
mickelson,
and
then
we
have
sumo
scale
and
kubernetes
nodes
from
marco
yeah
and
then
some
some
closing
stuff.
After
that,
there
is
track
two.
You
can
find
a
link
to
that.
A
I
hope
on
youtube,
but
the
first
thing
we
have
is
our
charity
partner.
We
have
phil
sturgeon
from
protect
earth
talking,
so
I
mean
just
before
we
go
to
that.
I
do
want
to
say
I
am
one
of
the
best
things
about
this
conference.
I
think,
is
that
we
do
have
charity
partners.
That
means
quite
a
lot
to
us
and
we're
trying
to
you
know
raise
as
much
money
for
them
as
we
can,
and
I
think
the
both
of
them
are
very
relevant
to
to
what
we're
doing
in
cloud
native.
C
C
There
we
go
yeah,
I
just
put
together
a
few
slides
to
show
what
we're
up
to
and
protect
earth.
So
a
little
about
us,
as
you
may
or
may
not
know,
the
the
deforestation
in
the
world
every
year
is
between
10
and
15
million
hectares
hectares
like
a
olympic
like
a
running
track.
So
it's
quite
big.
It's
also
the
size
of
the
uk
every
two
years
just
gone
forest
cover.
C
No
more
so
the
uk
has
just
13
tree
cover
which
is
way
way
below
the
european
average,
which
is
like
37.
So
there's
not
much,
there's
just
not
much
around
and
over
the
last
year
or
two
I've
kind
of
started.
Feeling
like
things
aren't,
okay,
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
you
feel
the
same
way.
You'll
want
to
do
something,
so
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
could
be
done.
Project
drawdown
suggests
that
temp
forest
restoration
could
be
about
27
28.
C
Was
it
gigatons
of
co2
sequestered,
which
is
actually
twice
the
potential
impact
of
electric
cars,
which
were
often
hailed
as
the
one
and
only
savior
of
the
world
so
put
together
a
crack
squad?
This
is
us
working
on
our
first
project:
planting
a
hundred
trees,
just
just
to
get
things
started,
there's
there's
ed
with
his
hook,
slasher
and
there's
andy,
finding
some
trees
and
we
partnered
up
with
ecology.
C
You
might
have
heard
of
they're
like
a
monthly
subscription
service
to
basically
do
good
around
the
world
and
whether
that's
funding
efficient
cook
stoves
in
eritrea
or
biodigesters
in
vietnam.
They,
they,
you
know,
spread
your
monthly
subscription
around
the
world
and-
and
you
know,
do
good
things
with
it,
and
one
of
those
things
is
is
us
so
as
a
charity,
we
work,
we
do
a
few
things.
C
We
work
with
landowners
on
existing
that
own
their
land
and
we
basically
help
them
reforest
that
land
or
chunks
of
it
for
free
there's
a
bunch
of
different
grants
around
that
are
really
complicated
to
understand
and
a
lot
of
the
time
people
want
to
reforest
chunks
of
their
farm,
or
you
know,
bits
of
their
estate.
If
they've
got
a
huge
garden,
they
just
don't
necessarily
know
how
and
often
the
financial
incentives
are
well
we'll
pay
you
back,
but
that's
it
or
sometimes
you
only
get
like
a
75
discount.
C
So
a
lot
of
the
time
landowners
are
being
expected
to
give
up
huge
chunks
of
their
land
for
absolutely
nothing
in
return
or
at
cost.
So
we
help
fix
that
a
bit
help
them
work
out
all
the
grants
and
we'll
you
know,
help
with
maintenance
and
thinning
and
watering
or
work
with
local
climate
action
groups
to
get
that
done
so
that
we
can
reduce
travel
miles.
C
There's
loads
of
benefits.
Farmers
don't
go
through
them
all,
but
it
like
improves
having
a
bunch
of
trees.
Next
to
a
field
where
there's
crops
will
reduce
wind
damage,
soil
erosion
improve
water
and
reduce
the
need
for
fertilizers.
There's
a
bunch
of
benefits,
specifically
shelter
belts
are
fantastic.
At
this
they
can
run
along
the
edge
like
a
big
hedgerow,
but
there's
often
no
government
grants
for
these
because
they're
too
wide
to
be
considered
a
hedgerow
and
too
narrow
to
be
considered
a
woodland.
C
C
So
there's
a
bunch
of
different
benefits:
agroforestry
in
general,
we
can
do
dot,
planting
cluster
planting,
you
know
putting
them
in
a
field,
and
so
you
can
continue
to
use
that
field
or
or
alley
cropping,
which
is
where
you
have
rows
of
crops
running
through
the
field
that
you
can
also
harvest.
So
you
can
get
nuts
and
pears
and
apples
without
giving
up
too
much
land.
C
We
also
do
woodland
creation.
So
here
we
are
planting
some
of
the
1
500
trees
up
near
middlesbrough
on
the
right,
there's
going
to
be
a
nice
new
lake
and
it
meets
the
river
at
the
back.
This
is
a
really
fun
project.
We
also
work
with
this
was
a
fishing
fishing
club
who
have
permission
to
fish
the
edge
of
this
riverbank
and
it's
slowly
being
eroded
because
all
the
trees
have
been
removed
and
there's
nothing
there
to
hold
the
soil
together.
C
So
we
planted
a
whole
bunch
of
trees
about
500
trees
on
this
stretcher
bank
to
try
and
keep
the
soil
together
we
get
volunteers
of
all
ages.
This
is
the
youngest
one
so
far,
I'm
not
sure
how
many
they
planted,
but
they're
very
cute,
and
we
use
local
resources
when
we
can
so
here
we
are
using
horse
manure
for
mulch
for
the
trees,
not
my
favorite
of
jobs,
but
it's
good
for
the
environment.
C
We
plant
trees
all
through
winter.
We
planted
500
here
in
in
100,
nod
wells
in
wales
and
they
are
coming
along
nicely,
they've,
already
sprouted
a
lot.
There's
a
bunch
of
oak
aspen
filled,
maple,
all
sorts
and
right
now
we're
working
on
buying
some
land,
so
yeah.
We
need
help
doing
that
and
I'll
go
real
fast
on
this
stuff.
We
make
sure
that
ecologists
are
in
charge,
so
we're
not
planting
in
the
stupid
places
like
nestle
have
done
and
wrecking
wildflower
meadows.
C
We
don't
want
to
take
agricultural
land
out
of
rotation,
we
make
sure
it's
appropriate
to
plant
and
we
try
and
use
good
guards,
not
plastic,
but
just
get
eaten
anyway.
So
sorry,
this
is
a
bit
more
than
I
meant
to
talk
about,
but
we
used
cardboard
guards
when
possible.
We
even
got
hemp
mulch
mats
that
biodegrade,
so
we've
made
a
bit
of
software
to
help
with
all
of
this,
where
a
few
of
us
are
techies
by
heart,
we've
got
a
big
old
database
of
all
of
the
trees
that
we
planted.
C
We
take
photographs
of
them
all
store
all
the
locations,
and
we
use
an
iphone
app
to
do
that
so
yeah.
It's
we've
planted
5400
trees
last
season
and
we're
looking
to
plan
a
hundred
thousand
trees
this
season,
and
if
you
can
help
us
do
that,
we
really
appreciate
it.
This
conference
is
helping
us
out
and

any
of

also
