Energy, Water, and Food – Critical Shortages Are Headed Our Way 

Helping my children with their homework has always been a great joy to me.  Now they’re both in college, but the pleasure remains undiminished.  Of course, it’s important to refrain from actually doing their work for them, but that doesn’t mean I can’t provide assistance here and there.

My son is writing a paper for his Environmental Horticulture class, and he’s chosen the topic “Energy, Water, and Food – Critical Shortages Are Headed Our Way.”  The help I’ve provided thus far is just to check out a few of the things I’ve written on the subject, and follow the links to the actual source articles and videos that I reference.

I wrote to him just now:

Here are a few short pieces I’ve written over the years on the subject of your horticulture paper:

It certainly is cool to have a son who shares some interests with his dad.
