Good habits are instilled in children from day one to transform into a lifestyle as they continue to grow. When I am a mother, I want to require a certain number of volunteer hours a month to local communities. This will not only create good habits in my spawn, but also open his or her eyes to the harshness of the world allowing appreciation to enter their being. I believe the world now a day grows bitter and blind to the illness our Earth has weakened with.
Corporations rule trends, implementing a way of thought to what the public will be passionate about; we live in a world where the media controls our mind.
If only we could spend two years travelling West Africa to learn about the complications to our food that give way for hunger to even exist. Communities’ today care about the landscape of a yard for appearance sake. We forget the farmer on the other side of the world who lacks groundcover to keep soil from drying out.
Beyond the problem of how much food is actually capable of grow, is the problem of its distribution. “Solutions lie in making better use of the food already produced.” If only instead of letting out molded products fall into the trash, throw them into the yard. This is not pollution but restoration of our environment because in all reality that is originally where our crops came from … Earth.
