What is ecological intelligence?
Ecological intelligence is just like describing someone's knowledge
of the environment and how to help it. Like an example of someone who doesn't have
ecological intelligence might not really know what's going on with the earth and other stuff like that.

How does this connect to our project?
Well our project is about why people don't live more sustainably, and that is what it talks about and in the article it says "We can know the causes of what we're doing, and we can know the impact of what we're doing," says Goleman, It's going to have a radical impact on the way we do business."

Am I "ecologically intelligent?"
Yes i actually am. I know what's going on, I help by recycling and not using a lot of electricity. I do not know how to ride a bike (Hahaha) but I walk to a lot of close places, so that I don't have to ask my mother to take me somewhere. I know a lot about the environment :)

Homegrown Revolution

1. I really like how their house if full of things you can eat, even the flowers and it's all grown at there house. I think it's really amazing that they eat mostly everything the grow and that would be a perfect way to live, like eating organic food and healthy stuff instead of junk food which i think they don't eat. Also i like that they are all vegetarian! That's a really healthy way to live.


2.Well i think that their need part of the sheet will have electricity, they need that for the night time, also they need food and that's why they have all that food at their house

and their want part would be their car, because you can't go everywhere on a bike or walk everywhere.


3. Well we are learning about going green and what they are doing is going green by planting organic food and using solar panels.


4. I really like how they live, i think it's a really good way to live, and like i said on the first question i like that the are vegetarian, and they are a really healthy family. I also like how this family uses solar panels, instead of using a lot of electricity.
