Yes it is!!!

why composting, how does it benifit???

- the reason is that composting provides a partial solution to an issue of great concern in Many communities. All around the country, landfills are filing up, garbage incineration is becoming increasingly unpopular, and other waste disposal options are becoming ever harder to find. Also Compostiong provides a way not only of reducing the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of, but also of converting it into a product that is useful for gardening, landscaping, or house plants.


With composting people can do more then just Sending cans or newspapers off for recycling.. They can see the entire cycle, from yucky food scraps or other organic wastes to something that is pleasant to handle and is good for the soil. Contrary to the out of sight, out of mind philosophy, people who compost become aware of organic wastes as potential resources rather then just as something gross to be thrown away and forgotten. They learn through direct experience that they personally can make a difference and have a positive effect on the enviroment.........

Historical context of seeds...

About 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, humans started shifting away frim hunting and gathering and towards agriculture, beginning by preferentially encouraging and selecting favorite wild food plants. this shift created an interdependent relationship between humans and a small number of domesticated crops. favored plants adapted to human  needs, and as they gradually become dependent on humans survive, we concurrently came to depend on thier cultivation for our survival. once sowing was discovered, seads come to be valued as the source of future sustenance and people began to selectively save seads, to covet and protect them.....
All kinds of seeds are imporant, and just like in the movie we saw, seeds are very very  important and they have there own companies that run the whole thing. and what had stuck with me was that they would seal some to others but they were not alowed to grow them the next year with the same DNA seed that they have given them, and if they did they would be sued and they would loose everything.

Farm Inc....

The movie was about the farmers who grow there crops, and how unhealthy they have growing there food. the issue is that, they did not think about the poeple and how they should eat, there only plan was to grow things faster better and cheaper. Another issue that is raised is that, we dont know what is in our food, and i think we aloud to know so that we can eat healthier. They use all kinds of things seal them and they dont tell us, and thats a big issue.......

This relates to us becouse we are trying to grow healthy things, and i do believe that a community can make a big difference becaouse they are doing something different and effective so that what we are doing. and just by doing that we help ourselves and others as well. And also i think we should seal our seads to people who need it, and for others to grow things as well for there schools or there friends and there families, and that would be a great difference and effective.....
