Purpose: Students will apply the knowledge they gained from the authors we read this semester to live sustainably, to live lightly off the land, and to promote eating both organically and locally. This application will come from creating a local garden.
Requirements:
• Between April 13th and May 7th, students must individually spend 10 hours total organizing the garden or tending it
• Throughout the summer, the students must upkeep the garden, but it can be passed along to a friend or donated at the end of August if necessary
• By May 7th, the students must post at least 8 blog entries of about 200 words in length each about starting and caring for a garden OR 5 blog entries and a 4-page reflection paper
• The plot of land will NOT be called Lotto’s Lot
• The blog name is up for discussion (you see what I did there?)
• The costs to buy the plot, plant the garden, and upkeep it will be split among the students participating
• Vegetables for all!
• The garden will be maintained based upon organic practices
This is what happened in Environmental Imagination this week, completely by accident (or else with malice aforethought; I can't comment on that because I'm just along for the ride).
