Hey kiddo, guess what? Your school is going to have a really cool garden! It's called a vertical garden, and it's going to be installed by a group called ReLeaf Cooperative. They want to teach us about how we can grow our own food and take care of the environment. Isn't that cool? You'll get to learn about plants, how they grow, and how we can take care of them. Plus, we'll get to eat some yummy fruits and veggies that we grow ourselves! This is going to happen in every elementary school in Austin, and it's going to be there for a long time so we can keep learning and growing.

In a place called Austin, Texas, there is a lady named Nora who loves nature. She started a group called ReLeaf that helps businesses use less trash and turn it into pretty gardens. Now she wants to make something even bigger - a rainforest! She saw a rainforest in a faraway place called Devon and it made her want to make one in her city. She wants to put lots of trees and plants that animals like to live in. She also wants to build special houses that are good for the environment. It's not easy to make a rainforest, but Nora is working really hard to make it happen.

ReLeaf is a special kind of business where everyone who works there gets to be a boss and make decisions together. This is different from other businesses where only a few people get to make all the decisions. ReLeaf is fair and everyone gets to have a say! This way, no one person can have too much power and be mean to others. ReLeaf also helps make things more fair by sharing money with everyone who works there instead of just giving it to one person. We should support businesses like ReLeaf because they are fair and help make the world a better place!

I read an article that taught me how a group called ReLeaf in Austin, Texas can find ways to help the environment and save money for businesses. ReLeaf makes pretty gardens from things that would normally be thrown away. But they need to have goals to make sure they are doing a good job. The article said they should think about what their customers, community, and workers need and want. Then they can set goals and ways to measure their progress. This will help them do a better job and keep helping the environment.

There's a company called ReLeaf that wants to make things fair for everyone who helps make a product. Usually, big companies make all the money from the things we buy, even if other people helped make them. ReLeaf wants to change that. They think that everyone who helps make something should get a fair share of the money it makes. They also think that people should get paid for their ideas and hard work. ReLeaf wants to make sure that everyone who helps make something gets a piece of the thing they helped make. This way, everyone can be happy and successful together!

1. "Knowing what we like and what we are good at can help us make our garden better. We can learn what works best for us and make sure we do things that are good for the environment too." 

2. "Believing in ourselves and our choices helps us do things with more confidence. We can be confident in how we design our garden and take care of our plants." 

3. "Thinking about what we did and how we can do better next time helps us get better at gardening." 

ReLeaf is a really cool group that helps make the world a better place. They take care of nature and make sure people are happy and healthy. They use ideas from smart people to figure out how to do it best. They think about how the way things look and feel can affect how we act and feel. They want to make sure that everything they do helps the environment and makes people feel good. They want to keep doing good things and help everyone be happy and healthy!

The Harry Ransom Center is a really cool place where they keep lots of books and papers from famous writers. One of these writers, Denis Johnson, wrote a book called Fiskadoro. It's about a world that's really different from ours, where there was a big accident and things are all messed up. But even though things are tough, the people in the book are really strong and smart, and they figure out how to make things better. There's a group in Austin called ReLeaf that's trying to make our city better too, by growing plants in a special way that helps the environment.

Let's talk about a really smart and cool guy named David Bohm. He studied things like science and philosophy and wanted to understand how everything in the world is connected. He thought that instead of thinking of everything as separate, we should think of everything as one big thing that's always moving and changing. This way of thinking can help us be nicer to each other and take care of our planet better. We can even make gardens in unexpected places to show how everything is connected!

Once upon a time, there was a man named Emory who loved to go for walks on the trails in a place called Mueller. He thought the trails were very special and they helped him feel connected to the land. There was a big shiny dome in Mueller that Emory liked to look at and it was called the Fuller Dome. Some people made fun of it, but Emory thought it was very interesting. One day, Emory found a fruit called Strawbactus that was part strawberry and part cactus. He thought it tasted very good and wondered if it had something to do with the Fuller Dome.
