Urban Agriculture is not necessarily a new concept, but it has gained popularity and attention in the wake of global warming. In an effort to increase awareness and provide an incentive to participate in Urban agricultural projects, one school is exchanging free lessons for help in their latest agricultural endeavour. King Karate is offering students a chance to participate free of charge in karate classes in exchange for help in converting vacant lots in the Flint, Michigan area into green works.
Karate has become a popular activity for young kids and I think this is a great opportunity to mix agricultural concepts with those that surround martial arts. The two work hand in hand with the idea of responsibility, hard work, and respect for your surroundings and self.
