How is our process so far?
The research is still going on of all the group members and Chynthia is trying to organize a website. We also had our group meeting with Brenna today which went well. We have to meet outside of class one or two time to get some things organized but we are still in track.

Group update 2
How is the group doing so far?
Each of the group members has his own part. Tasia is in charge of the main problems since she really knows most of the background. Walter, Fahad, and I am searching also for background information so we that we have some data and can make a statistic. Cynthia is trying to workout how we can get all our data on a website. We choose the website because its not easy to find any information about our problem. So that people can get some information.

How is the work in the group going?
The work is going good so far. We decided on a topic what approach we are going to take and split up the work to different group members. So far we are on a good schedule and should be done at the 9th of July.

Fecundity by Annie Dillard
Write very specifically about something in your home place with the same attention and detail that Dillard does.
My hometown is located in the Black forest and its all sounded by a lot of treas and nice nature. We have thousand miles of trails and high maintains. However we have a lot of wild animals too.
A lot of people get into accidents with wild animals which threaten the existence of some animals.
Also a major problem is the dumping waste in the forest. In general we have to pay for all our waste. Thats because the government wants to reduce the pollution to dispose the wast but also to make money. So people started just dumping their trash into the forest even though it is not a lot of money. This problem is getting more and more of a problem and there is not much to do about it. Even thought the fine is really hight people rather take the risk then just to pay the regular price.

Manifesto and The Making of a Marginal Farm by Wendell Berry
What is his intent with each piece?
I think the poem has more the intense to give a message about what to do to have a good life. What to do to have not much trouble and stay out of trouble. I especially like the part "Love the word. Work for nothing." this gives a relaxing feeling and also sense of freedom. But the I also like that this piece is pushing forward with every single sentence.
Other then the text. This just tells more of a story and not as much of a message. Its more about how he is living his life on his farm and what experienced. Its not as specific as the poem.
Both pieces are connected trough and want to give the message of how great the life can be you just need to find your way to make it happy and easy.

Having Faith by Sandra Steingraber
What is her purpose/audience in writing this? How does she get her message across? Would you consider this writing-as-activism? Why or why not?
Her purpose is to inform all kind of people about the danger of processed food. Specially women who are pregnant.
She is using research material from all over and has a lot of evidence material.
I would consider this as a writing -as- activism because she wants to change people of even the food companies so that all the food is going to be healthier and better quality so that a big change.

What am I doing to make a change
Changes I am trying to do are really little but I also think people need to start somewhere to make a difference.
I am trying to use as little resources as I can. I always tried to save as much as I can and never tried to waste something.
I am biking as much as I can because of the pollution but also of the fact that gas is limited.
I am turning all the lights in my house off if I don't need them.
I turned the ac in my house warmer to save energy too.
Every time I am leaving my room I am turning of my PC.
I am trying to shower as quick as possible to save water.
Back at home we don't even have or need air conditioning which saves a lot of energy and its not necessary anyway.
