The Pros And Cons Of Guerrilla Gardening
Guerrilla Gardening is gardening on a piece of ground where the Gardner do not have legal rights, it can be such as a abonnded area, private property or an area who is not been taken care of. There are many different reasons why people are guerrilla gardeners, some gardeners do it to because of political influences who provoke by guerrilla gardening as a form of protest. But it does not always have to be because of a political protest, maybe it can be because of the towns bad appearance. And maybe people plant some flowers to make it look nice, isn’t that okay?
I think that guerrilla gardening both has a bad side and a good side to it. Guerrilla Gardner’s are typically rising flowers, vegetables, fruits. Mostly the places people guerrilla gardening is on a piece ground who is not used to anything, so I don’t really see the problem why it’s not allowed. It’s not like there are doing any harm or what so ever to other people. And it is not like they are planting something unhealthy, what they are gardening is

By growing the vegetables or fruit in areas beside roads where cars will drove. Will the vegetables absorb chemicals and then it will be passed on by those who eat it. Which is not good for your health, I will say that if it will maybe be better if guerrilla gardeners plant where they were not so many cars driving too get as little as possible of those chemicals. I think it is okay for a guerrilla Gardner to plant on areas they don’t own just as long as people who walk by is allowed to eat the plants. I don’t either think that it is okay for a guerrilla Gardner to sell what they have planted, when it is not really there ground. And then think it is okay to make people pay for it, sure it is their plants, but it is not their ground. Even though guerrilla gardening is illegal the police is not really doing anything about, because let’s be real will they really bother stopping and taking up plants… I don’t think

    Should investigators continue to have suspicions, they can pull records from the farmers and/or take samples to help their cause as seed providers, ultimately leading to farmers paying fines and higher profits for Monsanto. Cardoso and James (2012) suggest that the ethics for seeding lies with the personal preference and the case-by-case determination of the parties involved. Monsanto will always back up their company to maximize profits, while the farmers will do what they can to minimize overhead. This battle continues as the protection of personal, intellectual property, which just like the idea of technology, should be considered protected during the first season/harvest. However, once the second generation of crops has come to harvest, the intellectual property should not be considered property belonging to Monsanto anymore. After all, the seeds that are used as second generation were not in existence when the first generation seed was altered and sold. The intellectual part can still be protected, but the growth of new/more seed should not be considered protected in the manner the investigators and regulators are…

    What if this is an unnecessary step to winning in combat, that the number of casualties could be greatly limited to a smaller number? Today, hundreds of thousands of people in Joint Task Forces are putting their lives in danger in Afghanistan, Iraq and even the surrounding bodies of water for the greater good. The technique that is frequently used in combat, that dates back to the American Revolution, is called Guerrilla Warfare, and is fought by small teams of four to eight people; these small groups are called Special Forces. Many argue that the use of sniper teams and Special Forces in combat is unethical and even more for unconventional weapons, although unconventional warfare is often the reason to a quick ending war and results in thousands, even millions of lives being saved.…

    Ron Finley was born and raised in South Central, and he now has kids of his own being raised in the same area. After seeing all of the obesity caused by unhealthy eating within his community, Finley began a small garden on the strip of public land in front of his home. Although it is just a tiny piece of land, Finley saw how fast people began using the new healthy food source; inspiring him to expand his operation to provide even more healthy options for more neighborhoods. He views his “guerilla gardening” as a solution to not only the health epidemic, but also as something to take the youth out of the crime and gangs within the area. His expansion was not initially accepted by the city of Los Angeles due to the fact he was planting these gardens on public vacant lots, but Finley is pushing to have his idea accepted in order to continue providing constant healthy food.…

    Botany of Desire

    The Botany of Desire relates to the topic of photosynthesis. Pollan states that while humans were “learning to walk on two feet”, plants were “inventing photosynthesis and perfecting organic chemistry…” (xx). According to Pollan, a reason for the need for photosynthesis was immobility. Pollan explains that due to “perfecting” photosynthesis, plants were able to design chemicals for defense against predators, which then solved the problem of immobility. The practice of monoculture is also discussed in the book. Monoculture may be economically beneficial, but it can bring serious environmental risks. The growing of multiple varieties of a single crop increases the chance that if one fails, another will have the genetic traits that allow it to thrive. Monoculture also forces the identical plants to be vulnerable to pests and disease. The use of pesticides can be reduced by maintaining pest resistance through biodiversity. Pollan acknowledges those who argue for protecting crops by giving them genes from other organisms; this is known as genetic engineering. Today, many crops like corn and soybeans are genetically engineered.…

    In 1955, Rosa Park began a revolution in civil rights in America when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus to a black man. She began the Montgomery bus boycott that would last three-hundred and eighty-five days and involve thousands of citizens. On the sixth anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott, President Obama said (2015, p 1), “Rosa Parks held no elected office. She was not born into wealth or power. Yet…, Rosa Parks changed America.” She was able to start a peaceful revolution, resist terror, and begin to solve problems with a simple gesture that would to the freedom of thousands of citizens in America. Years later, American citizens would lead peaceful protests against genetically modified organisms and the company of Monsanto, which makes genetically modified organisms. While genetically engineered seeds can provide some benefits, such as being resistant from pesticides, there are also many dangers involved with the organisms. One concern is that the plants will contain a large amount of glyphosate when they are harvested which is then consumed by humans and animals. As the company Monsanto grows, genetically modified organisms are reaching countries all around the world, and people are worried about the effects the organisms will have on people. One of the groups working to stop Monsanto is the March against Monsanto. They advocate for people to buy organic foods and for genetically modified organisms to be labeled so consumers can make informed decisions. This year the annual march was held on May 21 in three-hundred and eighty-two cities in six different continents. As Monsanto expands, the peaceful protests have also expanded around the world (The Huffington Post, 2016). American citizens were able to achieve their goals by resisting terror through peaceful protests for…
