We are currently being faced with many challenges to the natural resources in our environment. With this activity students can begin to find alternatives to using resources such as soil, in a healthier and "greener" way. This activity can also be used to open up discussion and debate about topics such a quantity versus quality of produce as well as cost and demand.
