Yeah for Earth Day

Last Friday, the Healthy Hunter Committee hosted a thought provoking Earth Day assembly.  To begin, the HCES Green Team of 4th and 5th graders, led by high schoolers Penelope and Jenna, performed a skit on alternative energy and shared their video on solar energy.  Next Steve Ritz from The Bronx Green Machine gave an inspiring presentation on urban farming and growing healthy food and healthy communities. Check out Steve and his students in these two videos.

At first some students were concerned that the parsley (in the light) was not successfully growing, but Kevin noticed, that according to our chart, it can take parsley 14-60 days to emerge from the soil.  It only takes basil 4-10 days to emerge.
