This video reminded me of my experience working with Girls Inc in Denver one summer. I was the Environmental Science teacher and I took my students on many field trips outside of the city limits. Many of the the the girls I worked with had little ...
Hello! I'm hoping some fellow gardeners can help me with something. I'm growing spaghetti squash this year (seeds purchased at a local nursery) and one of my plants is producing green, not quite striped and not quite spotted fruits -- I would say ...

Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to watch the movie later this month in Singapore. It's not yet released here.
I went to see Food, Inc. last night and this movie really put me through the emotional ringer -- anguish, disgust, anger, sadness -- but ultimately I left feeling empowered to make an even more diligent attempt to really know where my food comes f...
Singing is a universal medium through which we (humans that is) communicate. I can think of so many indigenous cultures that use ceremonial song as a way to, tell stories, spin myth and legend, pass on knowledge and instruction. What saddens me th...
We also need to help support our teachers in changing their approaches to teaching.
For those who do not speak Spanish, the above blog speaks briefly about Consciousness Radio, the radio station of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a non-profit working on behalf of the mostly Spanish speaking community of agribusiness farm work...

- I met her once when I was maybe 3 or 4. She was performing in Kansas City and we went backstage to say hi. It's funny, my uncle Peter hates her (really loves her sister, Mimi, who died awhile ago). I think he is just jealous of her success -- he is a retired Broadway actor. She and my mom were never really close. There is a bit of an age difference between them.

- Thanks! No, I don't think so. I've just lived so many different places lately, that where I was born still seems like my hometown.

Felice said… - Hey Missie, cool photo. Umm ... do I need to put under the category hometown, where I was born?

- About Me:
- What do you want to know??
- What are you working on?
- My garden!
- Favorite Book(s):
- I don't really have one
- Favorite Musician:
- Again don't have one. I'll listen to pretty much anything as long as it has a steady beat and kickin' rhythm. But I would have to say hip-hop (good hip-hop, none of that pop junk played on the radio), Latin music, funk, soul, blues, classic R&B, reggae and rockabilly top my list. Notice that all of these genres match my "steady beat and great kickin'" criteria

Food, Inc. is a must see!
I went to see Food, Inc. last night and this movie really put me through the emotional ringer -- anguish, disgust, anger, sadness -- but ultimately I left feeling empowered to make an even more diligent attempt to really know where my food comes from. For people who are completely in the dark, this film is an eye-opener, for those of us already aware of the unsafe and unsustainable food production practices in place this country, this fi… Continue

La autorización de mujeres crea el cambio.
La radio ha sido siempre una manera de escuchar las noticias y la música, pero en la comunidad de Immokalee en la Florida la radio se está utilizando como herramienta del cambio social. Radio Conciencia, la estación de radio de la Coalición de Trabajadores de Immokalee, está dando a campesinas hispanas una voz.

Is Organic Food the New Agri-Business?
When we as consumers purchase food and drink brandishing the well known and easily recognizable green and white "USDA Certified Organic" label, we assume and expect that what we are buying is not only free of harmful chemicals, but is also produced in a strictly regulated and environmentally friendly way. But with the explosion of organic goods readily available, is that really the case anymore? Not according to a recently published… Continue
