I am going to have a birthday party where we take out kayaks instead of boats to everyone's favorite sandbar in Tampa Bay.

I am going to make a stationary bicycle that charges 12v batteries so I can kill two birds with one stone.

My friend powers his bedroom by riding a stationary bike that he connected to a turbine. My old apartment complex was powered entirely by solar and it drove our costs way down.

I a perfect world I will be eating fresh snook fillets (Fish) and, with a small filet mignon, tomatoes, potatoes, and broccoli. Hopefully my grandmother is still alive to cook it for me. #IMAGINE2

I just planted some tomatoes and peppers in my grandparents yard. It always makes family dinners so much more special when the food comes from you. We also have an avocado tree that produces hundreds every year. #ACT2 I just planted some tomatoes and peppers in my grandparents yard.

The main problem that I have regarded in Tampa is that there are not many mom and pop food stores left. When the big corporations move in, we have less control over what they put on the shelves because they have developed an monopoly of sorts. I would like to see more locally grown and organic foods in our stores. #LEARN2

In 2020, I will be working at a business that I founded after college. It will most likely be an HVAC business. I plan to own my own house in Tampa and may be married as well. I will own a doberman pinscher and hope to own hope to also own hunting property close to home. #IMAGINE1

I chose Adam Putnam as my role model to shadow. It seems that he is very well respected in the agriculture community and I want to learn more about him since this is my field. I shadowed him by posting on his twitter page. He never responded to me, but he has responded to others, so we'll see. #ACT1

As a social innovator, I think it is extremely crucial to; (stay positive – don’t be distracted by what other people think). When we find ourselves in a negative environment, whether it was brought on by ourselves or other people, all creative juices stop flowing. In order to be a social innovator, you have to be willing to try new things. Sometimes people will criticize your ideas, often times without reason, but that is irrelevant. If you allow yourself to fall victim to negativity, you…

In 2020 I hope to have a family. I want to raise and train horses for my children and hope that enjoy rodeo as much as I do.
I want to be a stay home mom that is a good cook.

Social innovators are people that come up with new strategies, concepts, ideas and organizations that meet social needs of all kinds. They keep the world going. These people get other people involved and help solve issues of all kinds. They will face many hard times and it is important that they stay positive. If they show that they are loosing hope so will their peers.

A social innovator that stands out to me is Bill O'Reilly.
He keeps everyone up to date on news around the world.

Social innovators are people who come up with new strategies, concepts, ideas and organizations that meet social needs of all kinds. These types of people are very important to have around.

Urgent Evoke is a program that allows people to share their ideas on how to better the world and solve its problems. It is a neat program because it shows all different opinions on how to fix problems.

It is important that people know about issues all around the world. However, for session two I would try to stick with local issues only. This way we could possibly help find solutions beneficial to our areas.
I think all 10 missions were good, but it would be best to keep them more local.

I think EVOKE should try to focus more on ways to put peoples ideas into action. Just writing post on here does not solve the issues.

I would get the world health organization involved. They could possibly help identify ways to manage the outbreak and cues. Then if there as a vaccination you could take I would try to get all drug stores to give or sell them as cheap as possible.

i would design a webites that kept people informed with the news. people now days are so uneducated on what is going on around them. when watching the news they interview people around the country and it is ridiculous how little they know. they do not even know what the vice president of our country is.
it is embarrassing.

MANAGING PANIC IN A PANDEMIC
When disasters come unannounced society can go into a panic. It is important that people can work together. People need so come up with crisis communication plans and implement them. They should take advantages of technologies out there so they can maybe be more prepared.
