On March 28 Students for a Democratic Society hosted DIY Fest at Rochester's School Without Walls. The day-long event consisted on classes and workshops on topics ranging from solar power and civil rights to feminine hygiene and sustainable agriculture.
The class on sustainable agriculture, hosted by Elizabeth Henderson of Peacework Farms, dealt with how to grow and store locally produced plants to eat year-round, without relying on the national economy or its energy-intensive food distribution system. You walk into the supermarket and don't even know which food is in season.
