The Ecology Service Learning Project (ESLP) is about learning how to be more beneficial to you and the environment throughout your everyday life. The ESLP teaches us how to be better and more conservative with the things we do everyday. You can have a healthier and cleaner lifestyle by paying more attention to what you do everyday and treat the environment better and take care of yourself more.
Our project is called AHE Cooking, it is the letters of our first names. We decided to cook for this Fall ESLP over the other options because we thought it would be fun, I personally wanted to learn more about food and how to cook by myself. I wanted to learn what it would be like to go out and buy your own ingredients and go home and cook them.
From doing this I learned how to cook and cut food because at home I normally don't really cook or make food. One of the difficulties in doing this project was that it was hard to look for good recipes with in season fruits and vegetables. We would find a recipe that looked really good but it would have too much sugar or too much of something unhealthy or the fruits weren't in season.
The effort we put into this project effects humans because we are helping the small organic family farms who don't make much money instead of using our money on unhealthy big companies. We also helped nonliving things by making the environment better because these family farms don't use chemicals like the big companies.
This project was fun and makes me want to cook more, some of the recipes we came up with ourselves. It was fun making recipes and going to buy the things and coming home and cooking them.
