    Our next stop was Rossville Elementary where an Aquaponics system now runs the entire length of the school cafeteria. Ryan presented the students with a lesson on sustainable growing practices and the importance of caring for our environment and we will return on Monday with plants and fish to make the system operational. The students expressed overwhelming enthusiasm at the idea of being able to watch their food grow in the same room they eat in every day. The clear majority preference of food to grow was strawberries, except for an adamant group of third graders who demanded basil, and one fifth grader who wanted to plant a fig tree.

    Tommie Brown Academy received an aquaponics growing system as well as hands on educational experience from Inner City Aquaponics, a sustainable farming organization in Rossville. The installation was on Wednesday and combined aquaculture fish farming with strawberry plants grown hydroponically.

    Tommie Brown kindergarten teacher Andria Powers organized the donation of the new system which will be used to engage students ages 4-6 in active learning about plant life cycles and how caring for plants helps the Earth and the important role that sustainable farming practices play.

    Ron Finley was home by the pool recently when his thoughts once again turned to dirt. “People need to realize how powerful the transformation of soil can be,” he said, with a hint of evangelism. “We’ve gotten so far away from our food source. It’s been hijacked from us. But if you get soil, plant something in it and water it, you can feed yourself. It’s that simple.”

    The broader goal isn’t just about the company, it’s about the city. With his $350 million investment in Vegas, Hsieh’s whole idea is to create a city as a startup.
