Happy Earth Day! These are a few quotes from one of my favorite rides at Disney World’s Epcot theme park. It’s called Living with the Land. This ride is a reminder of how we’ve gone astray with our treatment of our planet through farming practices and other things with a reminder at the end that this is not how it has to be. We can indeed change things for the better and make sure our children and grandchildren inherit an earth that is living and not in the process of dying. This boat ride travels through a greenhouse of hydroponics and aquaponics as the narration talks about the possibilities for a better future. And for many folks, this is the first time their eyes are being opened to such ideas. I was one of those first timers about 20 years ago and it certainly opened my eyes to alternative ways of producing food for future generations. My people have been farmers and they were farmers that contributed to the stripping of the land. But that doesn’t mean it has to continue. And I am thankful for the opportunity to do better now that I know better for future generations. #essiflynn #happyearthday #happyearthday🌎 #happyearthday2021 #savetheearth #alternativefarming #alternativefarmingmethods #hydroponics #farmersofthefuture #farmingandtechnology (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-quB6BlFo/?igshid=tk8ouc01x10v
