Personal Statement
Try to grow as much of your own food as possible. No matter where you live. If you are in an apartment start with a potted herb, if you have a garden, branch out and try tomatoes, or plant a blueberry bush. Imagine what this city would be like if people started using open space and their free time to care for vegetable gardens?! I myself belong to a community garden. It is small, but it provides me with fresh vegetables, flowers, an outdoor summer activity, a sense of community, and a lot of pleasure.My Interests:

Why are we doing this?
One of the main objectives of CitizenPowered.org is to build the social capital (defined as the number, quality and utility of social networks)—of communities. Social capital is the building block of communities. It is the relationships within communities and across communities that help everything from neighborhood watches to job training programs to wetlands preservation happen. Every community has social capital, and nearly every community has gaps that social capital can help fill.
