I
mean
I
my
points,
who
are
like
being
able
to
interact
with
both
of
you
on
a
human
level
and
not
like
a
presentation
or
a
YouTube,
video
or
even
a
book,
but
to
like
actually
be
around
other
people
that
were
engaged
with
these
subjects
and
to
like
be
able
to
ask
questions
on
a
just
a
conversational
level.
I
just
I
find
it
really
empowering
to
see
that
you
all
are
both
like
Homo
sapiens
with
hearts
and
lungs
and
eyes
that,
like
what.

Like
this
is
my
first
exposure
to
permaculture
or
anything
like
that,
so
it
was,
it
was
great
I
mean
I.
Think
you
got
me
fired,
like
I
feel
want
to
learn
more
and
I'm
like
the
way
you
explain
things
and
it
just
things
make
sense
in
on
weightless.
It's
logical
and
I
would
never
explain
him
like
the
various
techniques,
but
like
pruney
and
the
training,
and
all
that
it
was
great
just
make
it
easy
for
everybody
like
easy
for
me,
I,
don't
know
anything.
L
Really
help
us
excited
since,
like
you
know,
working
in
tech,
you
know
early
attack,
you
know
those
in
the
tech
industry
in
Silicon,
Valley
and
I
just
did
it,
but
it
feels
like
it's
pretty
much
on
par
with
those
people
that
even
better
because
we're
solving
like
real
problems
at
that
or
worldwide.
You
know
solving
the
food
issues
and
climate
issues,
which
is
even
more
pressing
than
technology.
L
B
Two
days
was
just
packed
full
of
information.
I
didn't
know
a
lot
about
or
cheating
before,
I
started
the
workshop,
but
you
know
I
feel
like
I
know
enough
to
get
started
now
and
I
can't
wait
to
you
know,
take
some
of
these
ideas
back
to
people
who
I
know
who
have
some
land,
and
you
know
do
what
you
said
just
two
trios
and
start
it
up
so
so
yeah
just
very
thankful.
B
H
After
you
do
something
for
a
while
you're
realizing
personally
I
would
say
the
orchard
doesn't
excite
me
like
it.
Houston
I've
rarely
stayed
on
project
for
more
than
three
years
on
anything.
This
is
the
longest
I've
ever
done
anything
in
my
life
and
probably
every
year,
a
couple
of
times.
I
want
to
quit
and
move
on
and
do
something
else
and.
D
H
Really,
thanks
to
these
kind
of
events
that
I
realized
okay,
you
know
this
is
worth
sticking
to
a
little
bit.
I'm,
not
saying
I
jump
ship
from
yes,
I,
just
I
I'm,
no
longer
doing
it
for
myself,
that's
what
I'm
realizing!
Is
it
it's
not
a
matter
of
what
you
know
what
I
want
to
get
out
of
it?
It's
what
people
need,
and
it's
really
the
only
reason
I
keep
on
now
doing
this,
because
the
next
thing
I
want
to
do
is
green.
The
deserts
and
restore
the
oceans.
G
H
My
next
25%
of
the
world's
deserts,
green
them
and
I,
want
to
restore
10%
of
the
200-mile
limit
oceans,
and
so
those
are
the
small
goals,
and
this
thousand
thousand
fifty
is
the
first
step
towards
it.
So
I
really
want
to
get
that
done.
I
have
four
years
left,
you
know,
and
it's
gotta
happen
and
I
know
it
will
now
cuz
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people.
H
Please
feel
free
that
you're,
definitely
in
a
really
growing
community
of
people
looking
to
do
very,
very
similar
things
to
you
and
I'm
glad
that
when
you
get
together,
you
realize
wow
we're
not
alone,
like
we're
all
feeling
like
coops
and
our
own
situations
away,
because
you
go
what
I'm
thinking
about
it's
so
different
from
what
anybody
else
is
doing.
But
when
you
get
together,
you're
like
this,
you
go,
you
know,
maybe
I
I
feel
kooky,
but
at
least
I'm
not
alone,
so
that.
H
I
didn't
want
to
tell
anybody
for
a
long
time
what
I
was
doing,
because
it's
like
okay
I
know,
I'm,
look
who's
doing
this,
but
when
there's
nobody
to
look
around
and
feel
like
we're
all
in
this
together,
you
feel
a
little
lonely.
So
this
is
great.
Cuz
I
see
that
yeah.
You
know
we're
not
alone,
and
it's
starting
there's,
there's
virtually
a
movement
and
we're
all
pretty
well
here.
I
think
everybody
here
was
talking
about
it
being
in
a
rural
or
a
at
most
suburban
environment,
but
there's
one
strand
of
it.
H
That
is
really
going,
and
that's
kind
of
my
next
push
is
to
bring
these
things
right
into
the
city
like
next
project.
One
of
the
immediate
ones
is
100
kilometers
from
Montreal.
So
imagine
a
hundred
kilometers
of
these
foods
full
of
these
orchards,
but
along
any
linear
thing
and
cities
are
full
of
linear
bike
paths
that
trip
past
and
so
on.
So
like
you're
saying
well,
you
know
when,
when
the
thing
hits
the
fan
cities
have
three
days
of
food.
G
H
H
H
Just
practice
get
doing
and
get
started
to
take
people
under
your
wings
and
show
them
because
it
won't
grow
unless
unless
it
takes
that
second
step
and
that's
why
it's
like
why
I
made
it
absolutely
as
simple
and
are
you
telling
me
you
can't
do
six
trees
like
really
honestly,
you
can't
do
six
I've
made
it
as
small
and
as
as
attainable
as
possible.
So
there's
really
no
excuses
to
not
reach
that
goal.
Just
reach
that
goal
and
from
then
on
then
it's
up
to
you,
but
then
it's
easy.
