Lack of Arable land

I love to discuss the future of the world that my ALLSTARS will inherit with them. We talked about fossil fuels and alternative energies, in particular bio-fuels. I raised the point that if arable land was used to grow fuel, then food would have to compete with a tank of gas and food would lose. I invited the kids to find some solutions. 

Here are some very smart idea from Stav... 

Hortiatis Hike

Last autumn the ALLSTARS, their Dads (Thanks guys!) and I went for a hike up Hortiatis. We had maps and compasses, built dens and generally had an unbelievable time.

After, the kids wrote scripts, recorded and edited this video as a team, together.

I am so proud of them all.... enjoy
