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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

"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.

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…

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…
