Go Green Pictures: Majora Carter

Majora Carter Part I

Monday we learned about a lady named Majora Carter.  She has a wonderful husband.  She is from the south Bronx in New York.  In the 1940's her parents were part of the migration from the South into the Bronx.  She talked about the white flight and Robert Moses.  Robert Moses made highways and destroyed communities.  

One day she took a run with her dog.  Her dog dragged her to what she thought was a dump.  Behind the dump was a river.  She then started to organize her community and changed the dump to a 3 million dollar park.

More to come....

Habana Outpost

Yesterday we took a very exciting  trip to a cafe called "The Habana Outpost". Its a cafe/restaurant. We had a tour of the cafe. They reuse a lot of  there materials to help out environment.  They use solar panels to power their kitchen and the inside of the cafe.  The outdoor tables are made out of a material called Trex.  Trex is recycled plastic and wood.  Even the cups and utensils are green.  They are made of corn and potato starch, which is biodegradable.

Ready Get Set Compost!! Go Worms!!!

What is Compost? Compost is organic matter decompose into rich dark-brown crumbly soil material. To get compost we need a team of workers that consist of dead leaves, small twigs, grass clippings, vegetables, fruits, bacteria, fungi, pill bugs, worms and so much more! As of now the Go Green Team are putting the finishing touches on the painting for our wonderful court yard. Our next step will be is to create benches and flower pots and our very own composting bin!

Today we were finishing the courtyard. we just brought in some wood for the benches. As a group we started to paint the courtyard. We tried to finish the courtyard but we ran out of paint. But mean while we are going to the farmers market. Also the plants that we planted last week grew a lot. But the sage grew for the first time.

Today we went over to the courtyard and we continued working on our Pythagorean theorem & compass rose paintings. But we didn't have enough paint so we had to cover it up for the rain so it wouldn't get messed up. Later on we will be going over to the farmer's market to see the amount of the things that we planted.
