In the past, not long ago actually, I have participated in helping the food security of the people around me and in my town -- even before I heard about EVOKE.
It may not sound like much, but I guess anything, no matter how small, will help.
Well, my dad and I planted a garden last year in our back yard. We had raspberries, carrots, tomatoes, cuc**bers, lettuce, and other alike produce. After our crop started to grow, of course we would harvest. Now, this is just a small… Continue

My best-case scenario future? Utopia of course!
"A map that does not include Utopia is not a map worth glancing at." -Oscar Wilde
For the sake of the mission, I will write the story it asks for.
Ten years from now, I mostly the same person I am today. I still have wavy brown hair and eyes bluer than the skies. I still hold close to me the same things I find to be most important, love and nature. And those two things have driven to where I am now, ten years into the… Continue

I have chosen to "shadow" Derek Lomas of the Playpower foundation and Playpower itself. The reason I chose them is simply because I like what they are doing for societies around the world. Currently, I have following them through Twitter (I don't have Facebook) and through their blog in which they have posted on their website.

The "secret" I chose to be my favorite was:
Listen to the right people. Okay, so you probably don’t know what it’s like to carry fifty pounds of firewood on
your head. Well, don’t pretend that you do. Talk to someone who has
done it. I believe that the key to innovation in international
development is truly understanding the problem, and using your

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
