Homegrown Revolution

1. Something that strikes me about the movie was that they grew everything. Whatever they grew in their garden, ended up on their food table. They were vegetarians and everything in their garden was 95% edible. They sold some of their surplus to restaurants.

2. I think that the Dervae's would have more needs then wants because they have a garden, So they wouldn't have to worry about buying food as much as most Americans. They also don't want much because they are living very sustainably.

3. The Dervae's family relates to the book My Ishmael because they too are trying to live sustainably. They are trying to do something about our earth and not just let us be doomed to "our fate". They are encouraging people to follow in their footsteps and become more energy efficient.

4. I think the way the Dervae family lives is really cool. The way they grow all their food and the garden looks really cool. The way they live works, even if people don't think so it does. They live more effeicently and they eat healthy.
