Falling in love with Nature

Last week Andy and I went back to ECHO to do our service learning project.  To cut a long story short, we were stuck in the lobby waiting for the rain to stop to make our videos for class.  While we were waiting we were sitting in the rocking chairs watching the rain fall that's when I began thinking how beautiful nature truly is.  While the rain was falling I was really able to begin to start embracing nature.  With the rain coming down in a torrential downpour the ECHO nursery really came to life with bright and vibrant colors of the plants and flowers.  While I was taking all this in I decided that I needed to become more environmentally friendly.  Later that day, when I got back home I signed my self up for a beach clean up.  Also, since that time I have attempted to begin recycling.  It is difficult, my roommates only see it as more work but I have been making progress with them slowly but surely.  Hopefully at some point in my life I'll be able to own my own garden where I can grow my own fruits and vegetables.
