In celebration of Earth Day on 22 April 2016, we made The Earth Shake. The Earth Shake is a healthy smoothie using only items that come from the Earth. The ingredients include: apples,bananas, spinach, apple juice or coconut water, and stinging nettles (we did not include the avocado or mint...my bad).
While some students were apprehensive about drinking something green, most enjoyed the experience of trying something new, and some declined the offer. The biggest fear...spinach. One would think the stinging nettles would have been a greater concern. When asked if they would drink it again, most replied "yes".
At the same time Adrian High School teachers, school wide, are teaching a unit on Land Ethics; Upward Bound topic? Do cleaning products affect our land, water, and health? Stay tuned for research results.
