I just hope to take advantage of solar power on a small scale, I think that's where everything goes wrong. Massive farms, massive windmill farms, massive clear cuts, flooding for dams, digging massive pits for mines. Why can't we just keep things smallscale.

My friend had her house done in Bucerias and in 4 years it's supposed to pay itself off and start paying her back. My dream is that we could do something like that in Zipolite. If we could build community gardens and cob houses and composting and pop bottle greenhouses. There's lots of examples here. http://pinterest.com/zipolita/
 
 That's what I would like to try to help with. It's a dream I'm working on. Want to help? If I start an Indiegogo campaign will anyone help.?

Maybe I'll just put a donate button...

Grow Your Own Food -Youth Program & Recycling Video



Youth Apprenticeship

This is Super Cool! I love this idea!! Too bad Angel's not old enough. Now they just have to do it for younger children.

For People Aged 14 - 18

Learn everything you need to know to grow your own food. Get hands on experience working in an organic vegetable garden and community orchard. Help maintain 2 greenhouses. Distribute thousands of vegetable plants to under-served communities in East Vancouver. Meet like minded youth from around Vancouver. Earn $ for your time and community service hours towards graduation.

Apprentices will be expected to dedicate 5 hours of time per week for a 12 week period beginning the week of March 14th and culminating June 13th. We will spend 2 hours on a weekday (after school hours) and 3 hours on the weekend together. At the completion of the 12 week program, apprentices will receive a certificate and letter of reference from the Environmental Youth Alliance, along with a cheque, or stipend, for their time.

To apply to the Community Nursery Youth Apprenticeship, e.mail or drop off a resume and brief cover letter explaining why you'd like to be a part of the program to:
