Hey Josue, There's a guy who emails lapg regularly about aquaponics - if he doesn't see this I've attached his email to this reply. You guys should talk! Sounds like just the thing he's been working on.
Good luck!
Joan
P.S. I love the idea of this project but am focused on other things right now in my classroom. We do have a pond - might not be tweakable enough for raising fish (might be too small too) but once you get some stuff figured out let me know and I'll see if I can't implement something in my school pond as small as it is.
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."

Subject: [Lapg] Fwd: Urban Oasis Curriculum
I recently joined a small group of people who are committed to education reform. My self and others are looking for resources that can help us create or mend an existing curriculum that will integrate aqua culture, self sustainability, enterprise, micro villages, eco villages, living cleaning water systems, etc. The vision is to install this "Green" model into our education system. We may have a chance to implement these methodologies at Fremont High School, one of many under deprived high schools in los angeles. Please send links or related info to the email below. Thank you.

Dear Community,
We are in the process of developing the Urban Oasis Curriculum and are asking for help from each of you. Is there a group, resource, or website that can assist our program in developing the curriculum for the Aquaponics project we are planning to create at Fremont High School. Although our science based model is an alternative in traditional schools, we want to assure that it adheres to the most current educational standards in the United States and California. Please help us develop the curriculum for the next generation of public schools in Los Angeles.
Thank You
Miguel Paredes,
Urban Oasis
