Ecological intelligence

Ecological intelligence is being aware of the way we use our planets resources today. Knowing that our planet is eventually going to run out of resources one day, and we need to use them wisely as we have them. It also has to do with the concept of "Going Green". This article relates to our project because it talks about ways to help the environment and "Go Green" and the main idea our project is to promote that. My ecological intelligence is definitely not very high up there, I would love to get more involved in activities in my community and become more "Green".

Urban Homestead


What really amazes me about this whole story is the fact that people can create kind of like a little farm in the middle of a urban suburb. The fact that these people are basically self dependent in our 21st century today. I think if the Dervaes family did a Wants Sheet they would have things like, more land so that they could grow more food and herbs. Another thing i think they would want is more tools for the garden so that they could be more time sufficient. I believe that more people in our culture today would accomplish things like that if they weren't so damn lazy.
