A group that is helping to improve the environment is The Santuario Sisterfarm. It is in central Texas and has recently embarked on a mission to create a multiligual, multiracial, multicultural space. They have launched three major projects to advance its goal in cultivating diversity: The Rosay Martin Seed Project, Sor Juana Press, Latina's in the Borderlands and living lightly on Earth. The Santuario Sisterfarm established a publishing press which was named after a mexican nun, scholar, and poet of the seventeenth century. Among establishing a project, they are also publishing a small series of books on topics relating to women, ecology and spirituality. This project is an effort to build a more just and sustainable model of living on Earth based on Latina experience. This project is an idea that the land and human life are all parts of the same ecosystem.
Many of Santuario Sisterfarm's projects are a combination of the empowerment of the local Latina women with the environmental processes."Wherever you're planted,'' says Carol Coston, someone involved in the project,''that's the logical place to start".
This project is a great way to teach others about how to do good for the environment and I believe that it is wonderful!
