Day 12: Goleta and Carpinteria









Half the team rides 24 miles round trip to La Patera
Elementary School in Goleta, creating gardens and composting
systems with the 4th grade.

At La Patera School (24 miles round trip) we rolled up in
the morning and got busy on their raised garden beds.
Pullin' weeds, plantin' seeds (in the ground and in minds),
breakin' up clumps and chit chattin' with the 4th grade classes.
Their enthusiasm was certainly contagious and continued with
our composting games too. And we can't forget the worms...
we all loved playing with the worms who certainly
have a very important role!

AND

Half the team rides 24 miles round trip to Carpinteria Middle
School in Carpinteria, teaching the entire middle school
(over 400 students) about the AMBASSADORS OF THE ENVIRONMENT
4 Principles of Nature ....

EVERYTHING RUNS ON ENERGY

THERE IS NO WASTE IN NATURE

BIODIVERSITY IS NECESSARY

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED

At lunch our bikes were showcased and our bellies were filled.
