Bryan Ngo: "4.4: Communicating Hope & the Future."

400 Fruit Trees

What I learned about 400 fruit trees is that this is a response to great challenges in climate change. Its about positive opportunities in these challenges such as rebuilding local economies and rebuilding urban food product, and rebuilding a sense of community and a reconnection with nature and the land. It is great to see naturally planted fruit trees because I believe that can help out sustainability in many ways because they our using natural resources very well and also no waist is being used and no toxic fumes is being used and making our planet worse, only better. They really involve the community and schools surrounding the community, I think it is great because they are getting a lot of people involved, and this can be good and used all over the world.

Bryan Ngo: “Part A Conflict”

One technique that I saw was how you have to admit that there is a problem. This really interested me because I hear this a lot on television when the topic is addiction and this topic is similar to that. When admitting there is a problem, that is the very first of this situation is to admitting there is one. Surrendering to the idea that control is an illusion allows one to be proactive rather than reactive which creates opportunity for solution. This really makes sense to me because of the fact how true this is and how it is related to sustainability in so many ways. For example, many people who are not familiar with sustainability do not know we actually have a problem on this earth, they think saving our materials is not needed because everyone will be dead before we lose our materials. But that is not true because our feature is children, and how we treat our planet reflects a lot on how we live it now.

Bryan Ngo: "4.1 Leadership"

The most important things that I have learned about this article is that Brian Bacon was a great pioneer who was also a great leader who developed over 30 corporate turnarounds. And in "Beyond You & Me" book, there was a lot of information that I took and learned a lot from especially the part about how coaching can be applied in an ecovillage. And in ecovillage diversity and democracy among the members is generally honored and even when there is hierarchy, there is more flexibility in who gets to play which role. One goal of mine in the future is to get involved in a solar company that could really save energy on our planet, but also save people lots of money as well. Getting into this, I can be a leader and get more people involved in this, and also help save energy throughout the world.
But doing this, it would take a lot of hard work to achieve this goal because of the fact of having to get the information needed to get across to the customers which I believe is the hardest part because of how sometimes it is hard to get out what you want to do when there is still money involved, I would really have to have a good presentation to show how good this product really is. There would be a lot of barriers involved in starting to do this such as maybe customers not committing to this product and also allies in which there are many different solar companies that offer the same thing, and it would be harder if people are already interested in that product before we could could get a chance to sell ours.
