GREENCulture blog We put the “green” in greenyness!

Somewhere in the universe lives a young boy - a little prince - on a lonely little asteroid called B612. On this asteroid are three volcanoes, two active and one dormant, one rose, and baobab trees that the little prince has to keep uprooting or else they would destroy his asteroid. Imagine if we lived on an asteroid, how would we treat it? The author of this blog asks us to imagine that if each person were to live on their own asteroid (about 6 acres or 2.5 hectares of dry land), what would we do to sustain our and the asteroid’s overall survival? How would we cultivate the land, irrigate water throughout the asteroid and utilize fossil fuels? With the issue of global warming taking center stage as of late, we as humans are depleting our resources daily and soon enough, our planet may not survive. How can this small scale model help us (or not help us) solve this large and growing problem?
