As the World Burns.
Quote: “We did it! We saved the Planet!” (Jensen and McMillan 692)
Summary: This world simply put is in a downward spiral like a bowling ball falling down a well. Working together, making the smallest changes in our lives, we could toss some feathers down there to try and stop the ball however the effort is ultimately pointless. What we really need to do is to go to the people who dropped the ball and get them to stop cheering it on. The ignorant public need to be trying to find a solution rather than being hopeful that the feathers work. They need to work together to stop the ball-droppers from making things even worse.

Regenerative farms are a simpler way of saying a farm that contributes and helps nature, rather can consuming and producing waste such as a degenerative farm like mainstream industrial farms. By maintaining a high quality in the terms of their products, making a positive impact on the world, and turning a large profit margin, Jenkins shows us that being positively sustainable like the Schmidts could be possible on a wider scale for farmers all over. GMOs proved to Jenny that they were there to improve, to keep safe, and to keep well produce by avoiding dangerous pesticides and hormone-induced foods. Jenny makes sure to remind us, that what works for her may not work for others, it is all circumstantial to what works for us, and what works for
