Homero's Thoughts

Hey Amigos!

Let me congratulate you on finding this piece of gold in the Internet! Food Not Lawns Fredericton is a group of St. Thomas University students that started because of a Sociology Class project, now? I think it is a bit bigger than that, the hits on our blog have amazed all of us and the fact that we reach other places of the world makes us feel happy and proud of our work. This group gives the opportunity for each member to exploit the abilities each one has, group members work in what they like to and to their strengths. We have regular communication and everyone is always informed of what is going on with the blog, which makes it easier to grow and improve. I hope you guys like our work and hope you get along with this great idea of growing your own food.

My name is Homero and I am from Quito, Ecuador. I am part of the Food not Lawns Fredericton group. I was the one in charge to create a promotional video for our cause. My grain of sand to the group was to try and figure out the best way to get our message out there and get the curiosity and interest the viewers. I decided to go with a simple straightforward video, no facts, or procedures on how to create your own garden that comes later. With my video I just answered a question, why grow your own food? The answer? Our blog, everything you have to know and all how have to do with regular updates. I guess my job was to get you interested and present you to the job of the rest of my group members. I choose to do these because I love making videos, and I know a couple of things on how to do them. If you haven’t seen the video here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYmDXwq6NIo. SHARE IF YOU CARE! Through this project I have realized of how easy and rewarding it is to grow your own food and is something I plan to encourage and hope you do it to!
