You can predict the color of an egg by looking at a chicken's ear.

Hello Eco Warriors here there and everywhere. I just got off the phone with my Dad and our conversation provided me with the perfect topic for my first blog post. My Dad is a reporter for our local newspaper, The Aspen Times, and today's front page features his article about an environmental education program called Aspen T.R.E.E. Tonight, he was eager to tell me about his visit to the organization's home base, Cozy Point Ranch, where they recently finished constructing a greenhouse. Dad learned all sorts of interesting things about aquaponic agriculture, in which shelves of plants are placed over fishtanks and the plants filter the water while the fish fertilize the plants. He also got to see a chicken's ear, which he described as a strange sight indeed. Aspen T.R.E.E. will establish a CSA system in which community members can work in the green house in exchange for yummy produce. My Dad and I are very excited to learn to things by working in the greenhouse. Here is the link to my Dad's article: http://www.aspentimes.com/news/8726448-113/aspen-vardy-greenhouse-plants. I think you'll all agree that this sounds like every Eco Freak's dream!
