It is great to have Marisha come to share her knowledge on Aug 7. There are a lot of negative positions many people take telling us what we cannot do or what is not possible. This tends to be self reflective in that the person promoting this logic is speaking about what he cannot do or is not doing. The power of one is to do something. Marisha demonstrates this very well successful implementation of food growing systems.
In preparation for Marisha’s presentation and to demonstrate what motivated people can do, take a look at these videos that describe some of what she describes.
