Community Gardening

Community Gardening is awesomezeee! People do it to grow plants and other green things so they can eat them and get full cause being hungry sucks. ERMAHGHERD I LERV GERDERRNSSSS! Sometimes it brings people together because they like planting things at the same time like wizard magic. This is mainly done in the U.S. because in England don't have room for gardens because they don't have souls. My mom had a garden once but then it died because she stopped watering it because honestly, publix has a gangsta fresh food section. Growing plants is also super hard because sometimes the earth is like "No, I won't grow this for you". Life isn't fair. So here are pictures of gardens to help you come to terms with that fact.





Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring, is not only an author but also the founder of many movements in environmentalism. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Protection Agency were both started after reactions from her book. Her book brought to light many of the issues with pesticides, such as DDT, that were being used frequently and without out thought. Many critiques opposed the publishing of her book because of the negative impacts it would have on the chemical industry and some people just thought she was an over-accentric environmentalist. Here are some of her most famous quotes:

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

“But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.” 

“In nature nothing exists alone.”
