My Views on a Sustainability in My Life
After learning about all the ways in which people grow their own food and support their own families and then seeing it for my own eyes at ECHO, I truly could see myself growing my own crops. Although I could never be completely self sufficient unless my survival depended on it, I have been inspired to utilize sustainable practices and partake in creating my own garden perhaps. I don't have the time or the energy to put into a project that would feed my family or a small community, but if we had no other option I would certainly use what I've learned and even learn more about making this my priority. |

My Future in Feeding My Family
My sister and brother in law have a garden in their backyard that is filled with crops that they use to feed their family. They grow corn, squash, tomatoes, okra, and many herbs that they use to add zest to their food. These vegetables are delicious and I hope to follow in my sister's footsteps when it comes to growing my own food. She truly enjoys watching these plants grow, harvesting them when they are ripe, and then cooking them for herself, her husband, her two children, and whoever else is over for dinner. The food is fresh and nothing sold in a grocery store tastes quite like it. I could definitely see myself having a garden of my own in the future that I would use to feed my family delicious and nutritious meals.
