Greetings fellow Muralistics followers, once again from Andreyna. Well, I just thought I would give you a little update on what has gone on, although it may be a little overdue. So not too long ago, The Muralistics, along with some of the students from the Green Academy, were pleased to have a very interesting guest speaker by the name of Ray Leon. He is a local Latino enviromentalist, originally from Michoacan Mexico, and like our other guest speakers from the past, he tried to share with us what sustainability meant to him. At the beginning of the talk he had us all give him different words on how we would describe sustainability ourselves and then shortly after gave us his perspective. He related it back to culture by explaining to us that culture is one of the things that would stick around as long as we strengthened it. He also brought up the topic of something being sacred and mentioned that if something is sacred, it is normally sustained simply out of respect. I took them as its related to traditions and as long as you make it a tradition to live a sustainable lifestyle, it will continue to be that way for your future generations. It goes with the statement he made about how people have the power and you can make it happen.

p.s. this is a picture of me carrying our three mural designs to present to Cameron Moors, the building owner, so that we can find out which of our three murals we will get to paint.
