Do you labor on behalf of the environment?
And if you do, would you use a designated holiday like Labor Day to take the day off from your efforts?
Have fun with this one, it’s a holiday!

As an Environmental Scientist, I suppose I do.
I certainly wouldn’t begrudge another holiday!
about 1 year ago
For 30 years my work has been mainly related to the Environment ,and Eco tourism.
.
Until a few months ago i was a consultant for the department of Ecology for local Government in Mexico. ,which has now folded ,due to political unrest ,(the mayor has been at home for 3 months ,the offices are closed)
Now ,I answer lots of questions here in Answers about Environmental issues and peddle responsible Environmental behavior.
And am involved into setting up a couple of schools for farmers about organic and sustainable farming.
Up to 7 years ago in Africa i made many
gardens ,helped set up Eco tourist places ,and food gardens in a couple of very poor settlements for Africans
Mexico Oaxaca lived with the Mazateca Indians made some gardens ,including one in a school.and lectured on preserving their trees
5 years ago started a Park with the help of about 2000 school kids and parents,in the Sierra above Acapulco
Last year,i was at the river with a bunch of school kids and putting up boards to forbid dumping rubbish and cleaning up a part of the river side.
Sometimes I talk to schools about ecological awareness , have so far had more than 3000 visitors of school kids alone in my garden,not counting adults
To farmers i talk about ,harmful farming practices,give alternatives that are sustainable ,and lecture on the importance of trees and soil management ,erosion,Aquaculture ,niches ,companion planting,water harvesting etc.
Last year we motivated all the schools to clean up the Town,and even the army lend a hand and we are about to do this again in a couple of weeks
Also, with all the fisher men and owners and families of the beach restaurants we cleaned up the Lagoon
and have planted many trees and made many gardens ,by now.
