Done para ayudar al activista ambiental
¿Por qué deberías donar? ¿Quién soy y qué he hecho? Mi nombre es Jivan y hace 9 años me mudé de Brooklyn NY a Puerto Rico, durante los últimos 6 años, me dediqué a convertirme en el guardián de las playas y ríos a medida que me cansaba de ver basura en todo este hermoso paraíso. Comencé a caminar con carteles para crear conciencia sobre este problema. Me convertí en una valla publicitaria humana y llevé mis carteles a todas partes, incluso si había solo algunas personas, todo lo que necesitaba era una persona para leerlos. Hice esto casi todos los días. Había una playa de la que más me…

Short Film: Regrowth – Cultivating a Sustainable Future In Puerto Rico
Here is a short film, Regrowth – Cultivating a Sustainable Future. Please share and watch this wonderful clip. Agriculturalist Stephanie Rodríguez is an inspiration. She is the change this island needs. I wrote about my vision for a sustainable future here. We need more people like her and others who can continue to grow food and produce locally. 85 percent of the food being imported here is not a good thing. I think more people should taking action to start changing that. I wrote a blog here that we should replace garbage with fruit trees. We are the change! Visit her page here. Film by Nicole harvey

Video: The Forested Garden: What is a Food Forest? By Geoff Lawton
What is a Food Forest… A food forest, also called a forest garden, is a diverse planting of edible plants that attempts to mimic the ecosystems and patterns found in nature. Food forests are three dimensional designs, with life extending in all directions – up, down, and out. Generally, we recognize seven layers of a forest garden – the overstory, the understory, the shrub layer, the herbaceous layer, the root layer, the ground cover layer, and the vine layer. Some also like to recognize the mycelial layer, layer eight (mushrooms). Using these layers, we can fit more plants in an area without causing failure due to competition. Forests are ecosystems with a…

Documentary: Thriving 23-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – An Invitation for Wildness
My vision is to create my own food forest one day, to leave something behind instead of those footprints we leave behind going no where. We should strive to leave positive footprints behind. In the small town of Riverton at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island is Robert and Robyn Guyton’s amazing 23-year-old food forest. The 2-acre property has been transformed from a neglected piece of land into a thriving ecosystem of native and exotic trees where birds and insects live in abundance. Robert and Robyn are a huge inspiration to us, not only for their beautiful approach to healing the land and saving heritage trees and seeds, but…

Must Watch Monsanto GMO Documentary: The Future Of Food 2004
The Future Of Food 2004 THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. Mostly coming from Monsanto. The film voices opinions of farmers in disagreement with the food industry, and details the impacts on their lives and livelihoods from this new technology, and the market and political forces that are changing what people eat. The farmers state that they are held legally responsible for their crops being invaded by “company-owned” genes. The film generally opposes the patenting of living organisms, and describes the disappearance of traditional cultural practices.
