Salad Garden Update Everything is almost ready!
Hello Bloggers,
I am back with a garden update. I have had some interesting battles over the last month and a half with whiteflies and to no avail with the treatments I have tried. I lost most of my big boy hybrid tomatoes and have had all the peppers stunted also. The pepper sprays and cleaning leaves daily is not effective enough. I am about to harvest my lettuce for the salad and could do it now but waiting on the second round of tomatoes from early girls to finish up and maybe a few okra will be ready as well. My cilatro has been growing like a weed, but choreander not so much. The carrots have finally taken off but are very small and from seed is a longer process to harvest so probably will not have carrots for a months or so. The hawaiian gourd plant is getting big and doing well. Sweet potatoe is going crazy its taking over but is going to be a great harvest for this plant. Parsley is starting to wilt but still big and watermelleons are just starting to fruit. the garden oberall was successful so far and I only lost cucumber,big boy tomatoes, and most of the carrots. I have gotten more seeds so wil be adding to the garden soon several sqaush types, eggplant, peppers and cantelope. Thanks for reading Jon M Ellison

KanuHawaii Extra Credit post
Hello bloggers,
Its Jon here and wanted to tell everyone about this website and its positive impacts for communities in Hawaii. heres the link http://www.kanuhawaii.org/
The site is nice and well put together and has a wealth of info on Hawaii and sustainability. One thing that caught my eye when looking through the links and content was the campaign tab with all there current and past campaign's to make Hawaii more sustainable and green. The eat local challenge was cool and is simular to the planet green channels' tv show called 100miles. The idea here is to eat only things from local producers of vegetables, meats, and products. I have been slowly trying to do this entirely for a month to see if I could but am haviung trouble finding all the outlets for island produced local kine grinds to buy. I have only bought maui beef, maui grown veggies, and reduced my frozen food intake which have huge carbon loads getting them here. I have not turned on my oven in seriously 3 months and has made a huge difference in costs, carbon footprint, and health for my family. I would like to eventually make it completely Hawaii produced goods once I have all the places selling, seasons things are available, and with a cost effective manor and my personal garden going with more of a variety then my current salad garden going now. With these processes in line I will break free from the jet fuel for food situation we all have if we eat something not from Hawaii. I like the website hasd so many other ideas and cool stuff I would have never thought of thats easy to do and woudl truly help us all like carpooling and how much is saves annually or maybe to just get your voice heard and how to get yourself and your green messages out through local and state gov. agency and these are just a taste of whats going on inside their site so check it out! good stuff and even if you do not live in Hawaii the info is good for anyone world wide so cheak it out and see what Hawaii is doing to save the PLANET! Go Green Hawaii

Hello bloggers
I want to tell eveyone about a cool youtube channel I subscribe to that has a wealth of cool green stuff to build and use. heres the link--> http://www.youtube.com/user/GREENPOWERSCIENCE
This video is a cool ideafor a suntracker for your solar panels DIY style to save money and resources getting one made and shipped in to Hawaii.It can be made from old car parts for free in a little time. He has so many cool videos I have watched them all and will be trying some of his ideas soon. I recently got an old satalite dish I will make into a parabolic mirror to mess with free hot water ideas and maybe a solar cooker for food! heres the solar dish video.
Well just wanted to share this with you guys since these projects are green and really cool to do for free or very inexpensive to reduce.

Communication, Media, and Social Change
Hello Bloggers,
My post today will talk about the links off the module in this post. The first link was http://broweryouthawards.org/ a website about young people trying to make a positive change around the world with New Leaders Initiative supported by Earth Island Institute a global organization for making change for tomorrow. This site was nicely done and had lots of stuff and interviews with young people around the world doing their part to make our World a better place. I thought Robin Bryan and his mission to save boreal rainforest was amazing and impressive how much he has done. He has saved over 1 million acres from industrial logging which is amazing at the age of 21. I next looked at http://mediastudy.com/media.html which was a kind of plain website that had some interesting stuff about media and eye opening stuff about television programming and its effects on people. I read about the society of TV eradication and they said an hour of violent TV watched can cause violent behavior in its viewer a very disturbing and interesting study. The GO video was cool and had a lot of questions about GMO that they answered and talked about I feel really bad that GMO's could and have already begun to destroy the purity of seed stocks of certain plant species and that they threaten to contaminate the rest of natural genetics out in the wild from stray pollens.
