ECHO

I enjoy the ECHO field trip and I learn uniques gardening technigues. Turken Chicken and turning cow manure into gas for cooking and lighting was the particular thing that stand out for me. I feel their work is relevant to the developing world it help them become more productive in farming. They use less chemical and more resource compare to the "American" agriculture. I learn about the Moringa. Moringa has a variety of uses.  Its leaves, flowers, and pods are food source for humans and animals. The flowers are a googd nectar source for honey, and the seeds are rich oil source for cooking and lubricant uses. The roots are a source of a spice and many parts of the plant have been used in medicinal preparations. Even very muddy water can be cleared when crushed seeds are added.  I performing my service learning hours with ECHO and I will continued throughtout my college years at FGCU.
