Check out this brilliant idea. We live in a big apartment complex and the other day I was wondering how we could be more sustainable and use all the garbage for composting. This is a super cool idea. 



 I found this video on this other website along with helpful step by step photos.  http://www.valhalla-project.com/2012/01/from-africa-to-valhalla-keyhole-garden.html

What is a Keyhole Garden
From "Deb Tolman"
The Keyhole Garden is a waist-high raised garden bed, circular in shape with a slice cut out of the circle to gain entry to a circular basket located in the center.  The basket serves to efficiently water and fertilize the plants in the garden – water-rich, compostable waste is placed in the basket, allowing nutrients and moisture to flow out to the roots of the plants.  This garden allows the conservation-minded gardener to recycle, compost, and grow a surprisingly large quantity of local produce in one six foot circular bed.  And Dr. Deb adds, “you’ll never have to bend over while gardening again!”

Here's a great Facebook page on Keyhole Gardens

 Well somehow I missed this seeing this, but I'm doing my part to share it now. In fact they mention that Social Media can play a part by keeping up to date and sharing this info.

I truly believe Social Media can play a huge role in PEACE, as we can chose to share Loving messages, Thoughts, Images, Videos that promote LOVE and understanding and NOT promote Fear.

Everything below has been taken from the site. 
 
"I Just Love The Tools For Peace Video" (below).

Wow, they should play this everyday at daycares, school, colleges, universities,  and work places and brainwash it into people. Heck they should just put it on a TV channel and play it 24hrs a day.

World Peace Festival

 Conflict is a necessary part of daily life, and we all have to deal with it. The skill lies in HOW we deal with it.  

Tools for Peace contains the 'tried and trusted' methods used by wise, experienced people all over the world to transform the conflicts they face into opportunities.

These tools work just as effectively in our families and communities as they do in situations of extreme violence and civil war. 

They also work within ourselves, which is where peace begins.

Next week Angel is about to begin her tamborine/drum lessons and we are so excited that Nick Apivor http://nickapivor.blogspot.com is her instructor!!

Nick Apivor

He's Super Talented. My dreams are coming true. I always wanted to homeschool Angel and just have tutors that I know and trusted teach her. She's been doing dance(ballet & hip hop) and badminton and this is going to round things out so nicely. We want to go to Africa too!! and I really want to go to India, Angel really wants to go to China. We dream about seeing the world, and hearing music from around the world and seeing all the little children is so inspiring. Check out what Playing for Change is doing! They are AWESOME!!!

You know what else is super cool, is they did all this in four years. Sound familar, just like the goals and dreams of Four Years. Go http://www.fouryearsgo.org/
