My first Renewal visit was to my alma mater Messiah College in Harrisburg, PA. Working with Laura Dagley from Earthkeepers we set up an evening of Do-It-Yourself Workshops. Pictured above is former professor Pauline Stevick who taught us how to make delicious bread. She also had samples for us to taste. (Here's her recipe and bread making tips.) We also learned how to patch a bike tire, how to plant herbs in your apartment, and how to patch a hole in your clothes. These skills are important because they help us live sustainable lives. The more we make ourselves or buy from people who live close to us, the less we depend on processing, foreign exports, and fossil fuel consumption. Keep your eyes peeled for more DIY workshops at Messiah in the future! |
