Describe Prince Edward Island

If I were the tourism director for Prince Edward Island, some stereotypes or “stories” I’d promote would be the stereotype that islands have beautiful landscapes. The idea that the view is always of beaches or mountains, promote the idea that life on Prince Edward Island is calm, relaxing and, going back to the idea of paradise. In this I’d also be promoting the stereotype that the atmosphere on islands is relaxing and fun, somewhere you go to get away from stress. I’d promote the stereotype that islands, Prince Edward Island in specific, is best known for its farming, agriculture and locally grown food. This can then link to promoting local businesses and the stereotype that most businesses on islands are local and the promotion to buy

Soil is the basis for the natural ecosystems and a living thing, it sustains life on Earth and works as a natural recycling facility with nutrients to the plants. However, many people do not know about the good benefits that soil gives to our lives and how humans hurt the conditions of soil with chemicals. Soil is often times mistreated due to the misconception of soil as dirt. Nevertheless, Professor Asmeret Berhe highlighted during the lecture, Soil, that soil is a place of full of life that supports living thing. The living organism depends on the conditions of soil because soil delivers nutrients to plants. For instance, improving the conditions of the soil increases the harvest of crops. Unhealthy soil will not be able to do its job as a natural recycling facility, and not be able to give a good amount of nutrients to plants to abundantly grow. Therefore, conditions of soil are very important in agriculture. Furthermore, having organic soils can conserve the amount of water used for irrigation. Soil is main supply of water to all land and plants because it holds the water for organisms. Organic soil can hold few amounts of water for a long time so it helps farmers to reduce the agricultural water consumption. Soil is very important to out lives than what we imagine and think. The global awareness of soil preservation is less significant to people than other conservation efforts like reducing the amount of plastic used, but soil preservation is very significant to our earth system. Therefore, it is very important for humans to help the Earth healthy sustain life by stop mistreating soil as dirt and treating it as a living thing that holds full of

Even though I was worried when we arrived here, I could still recognise that this island was beautiful. There were crystal waters and tropical palms. Sand that crunched beneath your feet and coral that decorated the ocean floor. Looks can be very deceiving though, Auntie. It didn’t stay beautiful for long and ever since we landed, I was praying that we would be rescued.

Prince Edward Islands’ history is a crucial aspect in Canada’s past. The work of historians has helped to develop and in essence create its intricate and telling historiography. PEI’s early history is difficult to classify before its entrance into Canada, due to its isolated geography and heavy British influence. The most notable representations of PEI and the problem of absentee landlordism in the eighteenth century is characterized by the works of some of the most notable academics in the field: ----------.

Prince Edward Island is a five-thousand, six-hundred and sixty square kilometre island off the eastern coast of Canada. When an island is part of a larger nation, and not provided with a physical connection to the mainland, it is a dismembered limb from the functioning body of the country. The insularity is a handicap, rather than a factor of uniqueness. Transportation from the island to the mainland has typically been somewhat of an issue, as the Northumberland strait between the landmasses freezes partially in winter, making travel difficult. The first peoples of the island, the Mi’kmaq, would make the crossing via canoe and carry the boat over the patches of ice. Once settlers inhabited the island it became necessary to have constant

I’ve always felt captivated by the ocean, its endless mysteries and breathtaking views. Therefor last summer I decided to embark in a new adventure by going on a carnival cruise ship. I still remember the process to board the ship and how jaw dropping it was to be so close to this colossal cruise, I mean it was truly mind-blowing. From here on my first day at sea was a memory I will never forget, being on the top deck overlooking the deep blue ocean brought peace to my mind, while the cool breeze soothes my body. Clearly this is about to get even better as I would be visiting one of the Virgin’s Islands called ST. Maarten where the waters stay flawlessly clear blue and spotless. Furthermore, my last day out at sea was truly when I enjoyed myself the most by taking advantage of all It had to offer.

Prince Edward Island is the smallest of the 10 provinces in Canada, having a motto “The Small under the Protection of the Great”. Altogether it has 2 cities and seven small towns. Universally called “Garden Province" because half of its land is cultivated

The sand scorches our feet like steaks on a fiery grill. I had brought the Rock along to join me for a surfing lesson. We snatch our wetsuits and our boards and hit the waves. The second the ocean water hits my feet, it sends a chilling sensation through my entire body. The polar water on this hot day feels like a steamy shower after a long chilly day, calming and relaxing. The waves are monstrous and intimidating, however, I seem to ride them effortlessly like I had done it a million times before. I dash past the Rock and ride under a curling wave. Hidden in the waves are vibrantly colored fish swimming in schools. The water is translucent, so much that one can simply look at the ocean floor, and see the coral and seaweed that is

The Black brownie soil covered the surface with high vegetation. The lower part of the soil is mixed soil with mother

One had to be rich just to get a look-in. You had to be worth more than ten million to be able to secure a property. There were houses, it was true – each house was not much more than a two-story town-house, in design, but the comforts of each house were made for the Rich & Shameless, and the houses weren’t stuck so close together that you could throw a stone and break a window next door – there was a respectable amount of distance between houses. Furniture was moved in when you signed your deed and paid your bond. Most people who lived here also maintained another house off The Island…for those times where living off The Island was necessary. However, most residents who lived on The Island could also run their business interests from there as well, and clothing was permitted when a person’s work demanded it (although leaving The Island for work purposes was

Vancouver is a fantastic city, but I think, at heart, I’m more of a country gal. One day, my old friend Dik Budd (from Toronto) called and invited me to visit him in Merville, on Vancouver Island. So, off I went, on a ferry over to Naniamo. I could not believe the size of the ocean or Vancouver Island.

The soil is an essential element of a sustainable food system. A healthy soil is one of the most valuable resources on the Earth not just because of its role in growing food but also because it is the host of many organisms. The ground has all the nutritional components to raise the vegetables and fruits in people’s diet. Therefore, the soil needs special care to recover the nutrients that it loses in each harvest. I witnessed an example of smart soil management during my time living in the country. I remember

“That was the place you were homesick for, even when you were there.” - Ruth Moore

Ever since human beings left their hunter-gatherer lifestyles and adopted intensive agriculture, their practices in general have not always been kind to the soil and environment. Agricultural practices completely disrupt the natural soil process and, therefore, altering the natural cycle of nutrients. A healthy soil is a fundamental and necessary part of our entire ecosystem. Not only is soil crucial for the functionality of our environment, but so many aspects of daily human life are affected by the soil around us. The healthy soil beneath us assists the process of decomposing biological waste and turning it into nutrients, which then serves as rich organic matter that supports all kinds of plant and animal life in and on the ground.
