Playing Santa at the food pantry
As part of my last Americorps service year, I got to spend 3 months working in the Emma Family Resource Center (serving the Emma community) and my favorite part of the job was managing the food pantry. Every week, I got to spend the first half of one day "shopping" at the local MANNA food bank, buying and entire truckload of food to restock our pantry.
Then I got to help make up food boxes to give out to those in need. I loved this job so much, because it felt like I got to be Santa… Continue

Quest6, Call to Action, The Quest for Peace
Not long ago, a farmer, who had worked tirelessly to build an organic garden system on his property, harvested the crop of sugar snap peas which were crisply hanging from their vines. A huge tornado blew up, and the farmer ran for the storm cellar. Skirting the edge of the farm, the tornado left minimal damage in its wake, tossing the baskets of harvested peas in the air, and…

Learn2part2, Xeriscaping, food security and Dry Gardens, Sustainability
While I love container and sack gardening, and mobile-cart-gardening, I have also done some XERISCAPING projects, to augment soil health, diminish or prevent soil erosion, and to enable propagation of drought resistant berries, trees, and pollinators requiring greater root expansion areas than container gardening allows. I have also xeriscaped using herbs,…

Act2 part 2 Food Security, Mobile Garden on a Cart
Hello, fellow EVOKE agents. Food security is the concern this week--and an ongoing concern in the world at large. Already, online, and in EVOKE, there have been many great postings about container gardening, sack gardening, and efforts around the world to mitigate the problems of poor soil, energetic pests, lack of space or access.
While being both inspired and awed by all the large scale efforts, gardening-foundation operations and commercially-available innovations, I still wondered…

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. 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

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. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. 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
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
