LULS Interveiw

Here is me!
In school we are doing a project called the LULS prroject ( Lets Use Less Stuff) where we research one topic about the economy or environment and broadcast the information that was obtained to the people in a way that will really strike them and get thyme interested. We also had to go to a community garden,a farmers market, or a CSA and interview someone there using theses questions:
1. What is your name and your role here at the (farmers market, CSA, community garden)?

2. Why do you choose to shop here/garden here/support this CSA?

3. When did you first start coming here?

4. Do you garden at home? Why or why not?

5. How did you find out about this place?

6. What would be your advice to get others to do what you do?

to some one working or buying at one of those three locations. I asked my teacher if I could go to a Habitat Resource Center and she said yes. They basically resale construction and home improvement items and the profit money goes to rebuilding homes for people that really need it. The man I interviewed was named Adam and he was a Shift Leader. The reason he worked here was because it felt good to work for a place that didn't charge so much for things that people really needed. He has been working there since July 2008 and he had come to know about this from Cregs List. He said it would be nice if people would volunteer more often. In his job he really likes to help people out and that it gives him much satisfaction. This place was very enjoyable to go to and learn about and I hope you enjoyed this little experience to.

10 Ideas

Industrial ecology, businesses and green activists are beginning to gather the environmental impact of our every decision and giving that information to us in a user-friendly way. That is a basic example of Ecological Intelligence. My ecological intellegence is a bit higher than the average human being but I don't know to well about this kind of stuff.

Under the sea DCIA ( Data Collection, Interpretaion, and Analysis)

This little guy is a Harp seal pup and unfortunately this guy is an endangers species which means pollution, over hunting, global warming, etc. is making this little guy and all of his brothers, sisters, friends, and family are dieing out and they need our help so please get up off your electronics and do something for little guys like him.
Sorry the results are being problematic.
So far in the data the results say that 18 people took the test and when I looked at the results some of them shocked me like one person said that they bury garbage and trash that they find at the beach! Another person when we asked if they knew any endangered species in the ocean said all these animals and even included their scientific name that was so cool. I actually wasn't that surprised when I got the results because I knew that they would be shocking with how people respond but I was still a little shocked because those peoples answers were pretty honest and sometimes the truth can be a little harsh. My expectations were basically met because I expected at least one or two people not to care and just not do much about the concept of the survey which was all about the pollution in the ocean and the harm it was doing. For the add campaign I was thinking that me and my group could do a did you know fact board about some shocking and very real facts that are about our underwater enviorment and places you can go to get more information on the subject there are even going to be facts about things that are being harmed out side of the water but still need the the water for many purposes. The angle is to get people out of that comfort zone and actually touch them in a way that is positive for the enviorment.

Homegrown Revolution

Hey this has a very cool site!

Hey I'm just saying that, that is so cool how the Dervaes family did that and we have something is common because we have chikens, and a home grown garden we might even get a little mini goat we just have to convince my dad and then we can get milk too. I think that this video is really amasing and its not that hard to take care of a plant because I can just be some herbs ing some pots in your windowsill but even the smallest plant can make a difference. The Dervaes family is a lot like hat Ishmael because they are basially the gatherers slash hunters and thats cool. I'd say the way this family lives is good for the enviorment and it is a good example of how to live. >-<

Basically Ishmael is talking about how animals have these things about protecting their own territory. Erratic retaliation in the case of the Cawks is that they kept basically kept everything in order with war so no one would do anything out of line. The reason that erratic retaliation is a peace keeper is basically without peace there isn't any war and with out war there isn't any peace. the reason that the Cawks don't annihilate each other is because sooner or later they would all have been annihilated.

I totaly shreiked when I saw this picture. ^-^

My Ishmael

Ishmael's rules on how to identify people from different cultures is that they keep their food under lock and key, and they think their race is doomed to suffering and misery. When Ishmael talks about if people from different parts of the world are part of the same culture, I both agree and disagree. All people have their own type of religion and not every religion says that you are doomed and flawed.

I disagree with Ishmael about how Mother Cultures voice saying humans are inherently flawed. I disagree with him because if you want to discover things there are certain boundaries but once you pass it you can never go back.

How the Takers and Leavers relate to the American culture is that Takers like us take away things from the world like the world's natural resources. Meanwhile the Leavers like us leave things like pollution and trash in the world.

Semester Goals

Some goals for this semester are I want to get A's and B's and I want to spend summer at Catalina Island and Comicon not in summer school. I want to try to get an A for my final grade this semester in hummanities or math/sci or both if not a B.

Don't worry I don't plan to be like Calvin. ^-^
