Garden Project Update

Well so far I have cleaned up my backyard I never realized how much of a mess it was. I am just about ready to plant now. The project got a bit delayed due to a very very bad storm in my area. I have to go to my local gardening store today and tomorrow to pick up plants and other supplies. It's nice to know though that now my project is finally progressing.

IMAGINE2-What will I be eating?

Well here is what you asked...

"Where are you? Who are you eating with?
Where did your food come from? How did you get it?
Who prepared it? What is the dish called? What does it taste

like?"



Well I hope to be living in a nice home somewhere in New York with a nice large backyard with a huge garden.

Also I would love to live near some community gardens as well.

I will be eating with my family and my many pets. (I love animals just so you know… Continue

ACT2-Starting my own home garden.

Well as some of you already know I am working on starting my home garden. I have already helped out at a few of my local community gardens and decided I should start my own.

Gardens have many benefits to everyday life. They are beautiful but also if you plant vegetables they supply you with food that can last you for week maybe longer. It will save you money in the long run. You can also share your crops with others saving them money too.

I hope to expand my project to more people in… Continue

LEARN2-Helping people in my neighborhood.

As I walk around in New York City I always see homeless people. It always makes me wonder how they got there. What their story is, and is there anything I can do to help.

I know that there are many volunteer food drives and soup kitchens in the area. I myself would love to go out and try to help at these places and maybe find a way to improve on the already existing programs.

I feel that people just don't care about the homeless and needy, the people who everyday its a challenge to… Continue

NEWSKILL-Gardening And Building A Greener Future

Well one important skill that is important to have and easy to learn is Gardening.

Personally as some of you know I am working on a project to create a community garden. It will be a great experience plus I am going to use recyled items as well in the project.

It is not very hard to learn how to garden. You can learn most of it online or from your friends and family.

I think that is everyone just plants one plant it will make the world just a little bit…

NEXTSTEP-Creating A Garden With Recycled Goods

I was browsing through pictures today when I saw this image posted by James Ream

This photo truly inspired me to take action in my neighborhood. I have noticed recently that people have been throwing out more and more trash and sometimes it just sits there. Instead of just throwing it out why don't we recycle it. In the photo above you see how someone used a old toilet and turned it into a flower pot. Now instead… Continue

IMAGINE1 Where Will I Be

"When Alchemy calls you in 2020, where will you be?"
In ten years I would have completed my two years at QCC and my four years at PRATT. I will be working as a graphic designer and freelance artist. I'd live in an apartment,preferably a nice sized studio in Manhattan.
In my spare time I would volunteer at community centers. I would help in anyway I could and donate money to many different charities and programs that help people around the world.

ACT1 Who I Chose To Shadow

While looking on the PopTech website I found two people who I would love to shadow there names are Aviva Presser Aiden & Hugo Van Vuuren. These two founded Lebônê Solutions Inc. in order to help meet the need of "off-grid energy and lighting in the developing world." They do this by using microbial fuel cells sold by local entrepreneurs.

I plan to shadow them by following them on PopTech and…

LEARN1 Don't Force Change

While reading this article this stood out the most

"Don’t fight culture (If people cook by stirring their stews, they’re not going to use a solar oven, no matter what you do to market

it. Make them a better stove instead.)"

I feel that trying to force new ideas to people never works out. You can't just tell people to stop doing what their doing and replace everything there used to with new more advanced technology. I feel you should try to improve on the old but still keep the… Continue

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

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. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. 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.
