    I have accomplished a lot during these past 21 days. I have my own herb and vegetable garden. I have plenty of rain water to water my plants in the next 3 weeks. My compost is now a place to grow and feed worms. I feel that I'm ready to be more inclusive with people that have different believes and culture.  I can't thank enough the company for signing to this type of events.

    What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh6SPgeJJs8 Worth to watch. We are so lucky in Costa Rica to have abundance of nutritious food. People that don't have access to it, may suffer health issues and that same people may not have money to amend fast and properly. What you eat is what your are. Can you imaging not eating properly? No having even one healthy food per week or per month?

    Only cook what you will eat. Cook less rice, less beans, less of everything. When we throw food in the garbage we throw water, packaging, energy and money that was used to make the product. We also throw our own money and make more unnecessary waste some where.

    Deseo compartir este TED Talk -Daniel Reisel: La neurociencia de la justicia restaurativa / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzJYY2p0QIc
    Es bueno recordar que algunas personas tienen conductas diferentes que son generadas por problemas en el cerebro. Lamentablemente algunas personas actuan de forma irracional y son descriminadas, encarceladas, sus vidas y las de sus familiares son destruidas por completo. Ojala el ser humano profundice mas en este tema de estudiar y ayudar a curar cerebros, que hacen que algunos seres humanos actuen con malas intenciones. Seria un gran cambio para la sociedad.

    I have been collecting rain water to water my plants. Is just incredible how much water we waste watering plants when we use a hose. I never paid attention to it until now that I stopped using the hose and pouring water from a plastic container that I'm filling out with rain water.

    Nature Support Local Pollinators
    Why is it important to take care of pollinators?

    Karla Campos's avatar
    Karla Campos 10/19/2020 7:54 PM
    They hold the key of our future. Without pollinators we couldn't be able to harvest fruits and vegetables.
