Standin’ on Business!!

Today was day 5!! The theme of the day was Working Like a Local and Global Business! The question of the day was, How can I be a more responsible consumer and reduce my impact on the environment and the people? We started off the day with a great breakfast and then had a relaxing warm-up outside with a beautiful view of the mountains! Later on, we headed out towards the local farms and took a tour of Jonathan Batista’s Green House where we learned about the process of farming here in Constanza! Francisco, the owner, creates his own natural pesticides with oils. After the tour, we went to a World Agro Marketing factory and we worked like the locals, cutting the stems off the cucumbers, separating them by quality, pushing them onto the conveyor belt, packaging them, and weighing them. Once we got back we had a self-reflection and we were more mindful of where our produce comes from and the work that is put into it. Everyone did great and we all worked together to ensure that were all engaged and focused on the theme of today!
