Zachary`s Thoughts

Hello everyone, as I’m sure other members of this group have said, we have been focusing on the Food Not Lawns movement, mainly in the city of Fredericton. Grow Food Not Lawns is a group devoted to the reduction of pesticides and the increase in home gardening. Rather than destroying good soil with harmful chemicals, why not create an ecological garden in that empty lot located in your front yard. Our group has been kept up via Facebook and a blog located on blogger.com. It has been taken care of by members who have been updating the blog and Facebook page, locating information in order to keep our group and our viewers up-to-date, keeping our group “in line” so to speak, and finally poster and promotional video makers as well as informants for people who do not know about the Food Not Lawns movement.

My name is Zac and I have taken up the opportunity to create posters and be one of the informants that I previously spoke of. My job was to come up with attention-grabbing posters, which to my surprise, was a little more difficult than I expected; and go throughout the university and find people to check out our Facebook and blogger pages – this was mainly done throughout my residence. This way we – our group – could find younger members who would hopefully become passionate about the Food Not Lawns movement and help bring this lovely city to a new, greener, more ecofriendly place in the world.
