day 19

today we worked on our talk show and i don't think we have much more 2 do because we wrote a script and made over 50 questions for guest and audience combined all i need is to make a advertisement to get a audience to show and we need to get a larger variety of guests for the talk show.

today we did a talk sow in second life and we had a lot of technical difficulties like the mic kept echoing and breaking up. also the mics were very sensitive and you could hear people breathe and others in the background.besides all of that problems we had it was still pretty fun and i think we did well.besides the talk show we watch a bunch of short ''pass it on'' videos and some of the tips they gave were helpful but most of them i already knew.

day 17

today we did more work on the talk show we got the summary done and we sorted out the videos that we did't want.we also saw a guest speaker today that spoke about how to make a effective and interesting talk show and he thought it was outstanding that our talk show is gonna be 60 minutes because people generally have a short attention span and it would be hard to keep them interested

day 5

today was kinda fun we went to a farmers market and we tasted some veggies that were good and we also walked around and asked the vendors what kind of farm they have and the steps they take to producing them and harvesting the crops. But the most informative was the bee keeper because he told us that he harvest bees on top of some building in grand army plaza and when he order bees he has to put them into a mesh ox and keep the queen separate bcuz they will sting her 2 death. we also learned that bees make huney with their sweat and make the honeycomb shape with their mouth and if you smoke them they would think theres a fire and when you try to extract the honey they wont attack you if handled properly

day 4

today at lts we heard alot of speeches and other people ideas about climate change and they are affected by it and how they could help stop it. we had two guess speakers in one day the first one was with this lady who was talking about her friend who is from Papua New Guinea but her island was being affected by climate change so much that her island had broke in two and now she is currently trying to lead her village to a nearby country. we also met this guy who had this great idea to put plants on top of the mta buses so it can take some of the rays from the sun and make air and it would also make a nice stop for the animals that are migrating and it was supposed to help repopulate bees and it would like to see his idea put into action some day
