Baltimore's Vegetable Garden

Mayor Sheila Dixon recently announced that she was planning on doing a little remodeling to city hall. The front of city hall will be the site of a vegetable garden that will span 2,000 feet. This garden will be larger than that of first lady Obama whose garden spans 1,100. This news about Baltimore is wonderful news," said Roger Doiron, founder and director of Kitchen Gardeners International. the garden a good example of how to go green and not break the bank. This is pivotal for Baltimore because the city has a demographic of 64.6 percent of the population being African Americans this will expose more minorities to gardening and the green movement. There is a lack of diversity in the green movement and this could increase minority participation. A vegetable garden could certainly add to the charm of charm city. Kerrie Burch DeLuca , director of communications for the soup kitchens, says "Nothing will go begging. This is our happy day." It appears the rest of Baltimore will be agreeing with here soon enough.

Green Light : Spolight Tony Anderson

“People have been very positive and receptive” says Tony C. Anderson, 26, Morehouse College alum who is taking the environmental movement by storm. Since graduating in the spring of 2008, Anderson has managed to familiarize himself with the who’s who of the environmental world. He has become a fellow with the Compton foundation, a fellowship that affords him the opportunity to have Nia Robinson, director of The Environmental Justice Climate Coalition and Van Jones , president of Green for all and senior fellow with the center for American Progress as mentors.
Majoring in political philosophy, Anderson has managed to put his degree to use by creating the “Lets Raise A Million”(LRAM) campaign. LRAM is an Environmental Justice organization that circulates compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) or smart bulbs as Anderson so affectionately calls them. LRAM plans circulate to households of a modest income. The money being are saved can be applied to other areas where funding is vital. Saving money and energy can show people how inclusive the green movement really is.
When asked what the inspiration for his campaign is, he enthusiastically responds “Hearing Nia Robinson speak at a conference about Compact Florescent light bulbs.” He goes on to explain that when it came time to choose a gift that his mother could really use he gave her light bulbs. After hearing his mother praise clean energy light bulbs with her friends it became apparent that if you could get clean energy light bulbs to households of a modest income throughout Atlanta there would be a dramatic impact in the energy usage and money spent on light bulbs.
Anderson plans to reach the million mark and take his campaign to a national level. Through his work with the Barack Obama Campaign, he gained practical political experience. Anderson had this to say of Obama’s recent achievement “The most qualified man won, but one thing that is scary is Obama’s talk of clean coal.” While there is talk of “clean coal”,Anderson has managed to generate a buzz of his own through for Florescent light bulbs. Kari Fulton, National Campus Campaign Coordinator for EJCC, says, “Tony’s work has been very instrumental in engaging college students in concrete ways, he is showing us how to save money and the planet.”

Youre Favorite Rappers

“ Im ya favorite rapper, im ya favorite rapper, don’t lie im ya favorite rapper,” these are words chanted throughout the chorus of the song appropriately entitled “Favorite Rapper”. At first listen to the song one may get the impression that they are listening to a new rap group straight out of New York , however this is a song by Morgan’s own rap group Any Means Necessary (AMN). AMN consists of four group members Dwaine Wilson (Dweez),Craig (young Mab), Donald Ballard(Don), and Ladi. Meeting three years ago, these young men found they shared a common love of Hip-Hop, while they were rapping back in O’Connell hall. Many new rappers who hit the music scene often resort to shocking and vulgar lyrics or fall prey to the trends of the music business in turn producing “bubblegum rap” that is becoming all but common on today’s airwaves. In an era where images are created AMN knows who they are and will not compromise that or there sound. AMN has more in common with old school rap than it does with the new school. The group’s only objective is to have positive feelings resonate with people with what they call” Feel Good Music.” It is rare to hear a group of rappers who want to uplift their community. The emergence of rappers like souja boy and T-pain it is becoming extremely difficult to take rap seriously . Hip-hop goes through phases like a person and its latest pop phase appears to be taming the once controversial genre. When the group was asked what direction Hip-Hop is taking, Dweez responds “It’s on its way [to being pop].” Ladi follows up. “There was a message, there is a lack of substance. If you’re gonna do pop, still have a message.” AMN embeds each of their songs with a story that connects to the listeners such as the bravado filled “Favorite Rapper” to the sensual under tones of “Breath”. AMN appears to be a group that has something for everybody and message to spread as well. Ladi says, “I want people to have hope and feel refreshed, I want to be the defibrillator that revives music.” After listening to their music and meeting these newbies of the rap community, they may be the breath of fresh air that music has been missing.
