Crying Earth

As my weekend slowly leaked by like molasses in the winter, I was given much time to myself.
When presented with any type of free time, my mind might tend to wander some, so as I'm Googling this or Bing'ing that I started to type in random words and those words started progressively leaned towards Environmental issues.... Don't ask me why. It just happened.

I was drawn to Michael Jackson music videos, whom I am a fan and always be - don't judge me.
Focusing on his mad dance skills and random co d me to write this blog because I felt it was directly linking to our ecosystem and sustainability. It's not just the Earth song he has linking to preservation, but here are a few more, and their titles explain exactly their reasoning.

-Heal the World    Heal the World - for you and me.
-We are the World We are the World, We are the Children
-Earth Song  What have we done to the World?

MJ was super focused the "Crying Earth" aspect, that we're slowly but surely killing the planet and all of the inhabitants, and we need to do something to prevent the destruction of it and everyone else.... I wonder who is going to follow in his footsteps now that he is no longer with us :-(

ECHO

The ECHO field trip was really interesting. I thought the overall concept of teaching people to grow food in their climate to work toward world hunger was a fantastic operation. Plus we got to see a bunch of cute animals. We also saw different solar power, container pots, pluming systems, and ways to cook different foods with itemsthey have in their climate. 

ECHO

On Wednesday, March 7th, we traveled to ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization). We learned that the purpose of ECHO is to educate people on how to grow and farm their own food based on the scarce sources of their environment. From ECHO's home base, in North Fort Myers, people travel to areas of poverty and teach locals to farm their own food. ECHO's property contains a variety of imitation climates, all of which have been cultivated in a simple way to produce nutritious fruits and vegetables. Their property also houses several different animals that also play an important role in ECHO's agricultural production.
