Bianca's Thoughts On The Field Trip To ECHO:

I thought that the field trip was informative and actually quite fun. I enjoyed seeing the different fruit trees such as banana, avocado, chaya, moringa, and many more. One thing that I found interesting was that you can chop up moringa seeds and use them to basically filter water. The particles in the water stick to the crushed moringa seeds and float to the bottom, once filtered with paper, let the water sit in the sun for some hours so the heat can kill the bacteria. I think that is a great thing to teach people from different parts of the world who do not have clean running water. I also enjoyed seeing Lilly the goat. I though she was adorable and made the field the trip a little more exciting for me considering that I love animals. This field trip made me want to start my own garden and plant my own fruits and vegetables. It goes to show that all the hard work in the beginning pays off in an incredible way.
