Read along to practice your English and to learn the English term DILLY-DALLY and the phrase TO GET MOVINGIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English term "dilly-dally." Now, this is an older word that sometimes old people say, but Jen and I actually use this term a lot. When you dilly-dally, it means you move slowly, or you, if you're supposed to be working, you're just laying on the couch. Sometimes our kids dilly-dally around when they're supposed to be cleaning their room. So that means instead of cleaning their room, they're just on their phone, or they're just laying on the couch doing nothing. It's not good to dilly-dally around. Oftentimes when I was a kid, my mum would say "Don't dilly-dally around, get to work, get your work done," and then I would get it done. So an older phrase, kind of a funny thing to say, or an older term, kind of a funny sounding term, but you should not dilly-dally around. When it's time to study English, don't dilly-dally, just get studying.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"#englishlesson #englishvocabulary #speakenglish #bobthecanadianThe second phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase "get moving," and this is the opposite of dilly-dallying around. If you are doing nothing and you need to get a job done, you need to get moving. This is similar to the phrase, "Get a move on." I think I taught that phrase a few months ago. When you say to someone, "Get a move on," you want them to get starting, get started. When you say to someone, "Hey, get moving," it doesn't mean like physically moving. It can, but it usually means you need to get started. When I was a kid working on the farm, my dad would say, "Hey, let's get moving. "Let's get this job done. "The sooner we get started, the sooner we're finished." So I needed to get moving.To review, the term "dilly-dally" is to sit around and do nothing when you're supposed to be doing something, and the phrase "get moving" means that you need to get started or you need to get going on a job that you need to do.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Cat's English and Cat's English says, "I have a knack for writing stories. "I have written some stories "based on my daughter's school life." And my response was, "That is awesome. "Writing is an awesome talent to have. "I wish I had time to write more."So Cat, thank you for that comment. That is cool that you are a writer, or that you enjoy writing. For me, writing is something that I do enjoy doing as well, but it takes a lot of time. When I write something, I never feel like it's good, and I want to rewrite it a whole bunch of times, because I want it to be perfect before I let anyone see it or before I read it to someone. So I have done a little bit of writing, but probably not as much as you have, so very cool. I hope a lot of you out there enjoy writing. The enjoyment of writing goes along really well with learning English. It's good to have that skill when you're learning a language like English.Hey, I have to apologize for yesterday's video. For some reason, the video got cut short. When something gets cut short, it ends before it's supposed to end. I'm not exactly sure what happened yesterday. As I was reading the comments, I noticed some people saying, "Hey, the video got cut short," or, "The video ended early." So I went and looked and there is like 12 seconds missing or something like that. I don't know what happened. I'll make sure that doesn't happen with this video today, though. I'll make sure that it doesn't get cut short.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)

AshEL Eldridge, founder of Urban Farmacy and Oakland–based food justice activist and community organizer, discusses the connections between climate, food, and health.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Method to the madness is next. You're listening to method to the madness of biweekly public affairs show on k a l x Berkeley Celebrating Bay area innovators. I'm Lisa Keefer and today I'm interviewing ash l Eldridge, the founder and co-director of Urban Pharmacy, the wellness entrepreneurship and education organization that provides personalized food production programs for schools, businesses and communities. [00:00:30] As Shell is an Oakland based food justice activist and community organizer connecting the dots between climate, food and health. Welcome to the program Ash Shell. First of all on to you about urban pharmacy. Tell me what urban pharmacy is and what's going on with that. Speaker 2:Yeah, well urban pharmacy is a wellness entrepreneurship and education organization. Essentially we operate in schools and in the community to produce food grind systems for the community or for [00:01:00] the school, for the school. We do the curriculum with them, um, around mindfulness, stem education, the job repairing this career preparedness stuff. But in the community we are looking vertically at creating some opportunities for people to do value added products. What grows in their community in general, where are you located? Where, I mean we're project Earth Island Institute. So we here in Berkeley and in that sense, but we have projects from in Oakland. Y'all start projects in Sacramento. And when did you start this? Ask Years? So I had an organization called SOS juice started in 2012 system ID system juices. We did [00:01:30] discount juice cleanses. So we'll probably have juices, smoothies, elixirs tonics at farmer's markets where low income youth in Oakland. And um, that sort of branched out into a deeper awareness around how the community healing and killing product and entrepreneurship and the community. And I created urban pharmacy, um, back in 2014. Speaker 1:Well let's go back to SOS juice because I was reading that you are working with some high schools in Oakland, I believe around climate change issues and health issues. It wasn't enough and it led you to think about doing [00:02:00] something else. Speaker 2:Yeah, well I was working at Alliance for climate education, a great organization, National Organization. I'm inspiring activating young people around climate change, doing presentations around the country. And um, I was doing, you know, was northern California, um, media and leadership manager for that. And then what I realized I was going in, I was doing a presentation, I was getting inspiring young people. We were setting up groups in the schools, young, you know, young folks who are getting leadership skills on how to create and organizing our school around, you know, recycling or whatever they wanted to focus [00:02:30] on. And I started focusing on food climate and health in general. Um, just based on the personal stuff that I was doing, SOS juice simultaneously, they work in the ace and then so essentially I saw that the, the deeper impact that needed in communities specifically like a, like black and brown communities, low income communities was the energy of the SOS juice, which involved more like a, like a spiritual aspect as well. And also a need to look at deeper traumas and seeing how those internal workings were creating an external world [00:03:00] and was looking at that as a form of activism and also wanted to set up some sense of self empowerment in looking at what type of solutions we can create. And in that sense as well, Speaker 1:didn't the Trayvon Martin thing kind of trigger that too? At that time. Speaker 2:Yeah. I mean it was, I mean it was a lot of things going on. That was, um, in a, I remember Fruitvale station came out, which was talking about Oscar grant and that film came out I think the same time. And Aaron in Oakland, like the week after it at day or something, actually, the verdict came down around a Trayvon Martin Zimmerman case. So in the movie theater, literally people [00:03:30] were bawling and crying. And it was like the most intense movie out I seen, which is, you know, we want to do a lot of multimedia stuff too because the media really, really hits, hits home. But from that moment I was like, wow, it'd be opportunity to be here. It's actually utilized this, you know, my training is in transpersonal psychology. So I was training at a second in shamanism and healing arts in general. So my view was like, wow, this created a cathartic moment opportunity for, for deeper healing, which is, um, what I saw when I was in the schools. Speaker 2:You know, a, [00:04:00] we give people information but um, it's sorta topical. You know, when you look at some of the deeper, you know, working. So you know, from that moment I was like, you know what, we gotta do a event focused on, you know, Trayvon Shama and reconciliation. So I did SOS juice, Savannah United roots. We, here's what we're doing. Our events are events that in Oakland 2071, telegraph your native roots and um, had a community come together and you had a process and in dialogue and people who are on Diet dyads had ceremony around and passed out juices [00:04:30] that we prayed over that actually had some drops in it from a group that I work with called flora alive. They have a trauma releasing flowers like high-frequency flowers. Speaker 1:Like what kind of flowers and medicinal, Speaker 2:I forget exactly this. It's like a formula of a bunch of different flowers, like amazing flowers. [inaudible] this guy, he finds flowers in sacred places like the Andes, all these different places he collects them. And the way he makes it is really different. It takes more like the energetic essence versus he doesn't cut them. So sometimes you find it that cut or or things like that. So you make sure they have [00:05:00] the whole energy field of the plant. And what it does and what I've seen personally in myself and also in the community is that it removes like actually some emotional blockages, just the the flower. So really we were looking at, so sadly the whole thing is like looking at plants as ally, looking at an allies for humanity as we go through this transition and shift of awakening. And you know, so urban pharmacy came out of that as well. It was like, okay, well economics, we definitely economics and economic empowerment but we also need, this is sorta like this wellness aspect, [00:05:30] this health aspect and come prescriptions, right? Yeah. So we, we look at it like everything is holistic. It's holistic healing. So I mean financial healing, yeah, the community is really important. But also just ability to look at some of the things that that block ourselves from, you know, fully being fully self expressed and fully actualized in the world. So that's to me that that was something just as important because, Speaker 1:well it makes sense because the injustices caused stress on body and then if you're eating crappy food [00:06:00] on top of that, then you're, you're never going to get rid of, be able to get rid of the toxins that are, the stress is causing. Correct. I mean, you are what you eat. Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. I work with that this organization called soul shop and they do anti bullying and stuff in, in schools. Really powerful what they're doing because they're seeing that, you know, everyone has a lot of stuff in their balloon and how do we lease that balloon? Right. So in that sense, the same thing's happening in Baltimore on the same thing's happening in every one. Speaker 1:I feel like there's a ground swell. Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. People need to up that. I mean, on both [00:06:30] ends, like there's, so you'd be sent of domestic abuse offenses in the country are by police officers. So there's some trauma they're dealing with, right? They have this over aggression as well. So on all ends of and ending when people are like, you know, crying out for it. You mean in protest? Since it's the same thing, it's like, wow, they don't want to be heard. People want to be hurting. Like, wow, how is this not being accounted for? How are people not recognizing this pain? Speaker 1:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to method to the madness of biweekly [00:07:00] public fair show on k a l x Berkeley Celebrating Bay area innovators. Today I'm interviewing as Shell Eldridge, a founder and co-director of urban pharmacy. He's an Oakland based food justice activists and community organizer connecting the dots between climate, food and health. Speaker 2:You ever been pharmacy? Is this a smallest that they're looking at? Okay, well let's look at the assets and the community first and foremost. In terms of like the, the plant, like we look at, you know, the allies of the plants [00:07:30] and then the food and then the medicines and herbs and things like that let and also the people where I'm in. Castlemont high school, Sustainable Urban Design Academy, Suta and Castlemont. So we actually transformed a gun range into a hydroponics garden, goes the guns to gardens campaign you have over there, Tim. Um, Eric's over there with urban pharmacy. He's over there is rocking out. So they actually getting design build skills, stem skills. Folks are saying like, Hey, you know, I didn't, I don't do math. And they're doing, you [00:08:00] know, advanced calculus, you know, to create and design the hydroponics. What do you grow? Right. Well, right now is this, cause we just started, we started with them. Speaker 2:We just go on like simple things that you'd probably fast like a Rugala. That's something you just, some people can get a sense like, oh, this can grow and this can happen, but we plan on expanding it into different medicinals, native plants, um, something for, uh, specialty crops, culinary herbs, things like that. If, what for the hydroponics. Um, but also we're in the k through five school right now in West Oakland that has an afterschool garden program. So [00:08:30] we, we're doing that to working with the little ones around mindfulness and things like that. So we just, we just, it was sort of just, you know, prototyping, getting our feet wet in there and then developing some curriculum and the next steps for us are making sure that curriculum is tight, making sure it all tied in terms of getting people's certifications that they need, food handles, car, whatever he needs to actually do that. Speaker 2:We want to get that part settled. And then the next thing is this, these shipping containers, we were excited about transforming shipping. Actually it's a storage containers and culinary kitchens. Oh excellent. [00:09:00] So such that they come Mobi Monica cooperative exercise and the community were folks who if you're growing, whatever you're growing in your backyard, we can sort of harvest that and glean from the community, especially after some of these laws are changing and shifting foraging, foraging. Right. And I'm working within a system and in that sense, and also some of the laws are changing around what can be forged and what type of property. You can sort of get stuff to go for comers, but we're grabbing that stuff and then saying, hey, west process, all that stuff in his food hack space where we can make our tinctures [00:09:30] are our juices, are our, you know, our jams, our butters, all that, whatever that is in this particular space. And that's the community can take ownership of that. Speaker 3:So they're learning about soil too, right? Like you know, if the soil is not clean, the produce isn't going to be clean and yeah, that's, yeah, Speaker 2:Ralph was, so that whole permaculture, the education is a holistic education in itself because it has to do with the self, like in, in our soils, essentially we do this, it's three parts. One is the nonprofit part [00:10:00] or find an institute. So we're in the schools and we doing education and Amy doing the build and be doing the curriculum I mindfulness in, in nutrition education. Then the second part essentially was just, is this more like the LLC, that business part, which then she does consulting, bringing into all the folks I know who do installation of Aquaponics, hydroponic soil base to sort of find some stuff you do in the schools. Wherever we can we can put them at. And essentially we utilizing actual space, you know, green space, creating greenhouses at locations and having conversations with lot of different companies. Even Speaker 3:are you working [00:10:30] with cities too? Because there's a lot of empty lots that could be great growth spaces. Right. Speaker 2:One thing I just created in sac is that there's a huge opportunity in Sacramento. There's a a guy, I'm really great guy, the uh, Yisrael farms up there and he has maybe like half acre sort of compound, if you will, on his property. And it's his family. His family lived there and he, he was just like, Yo, if I can't get mom able to grow food, they make, you know, value added products as well. You know, so [00:11:00] our, our focus, you know, so the nonprofit aspect, the, the LLC aspect and also the cooperative aspect for the communities. It's really looking at this, this value added product space. I've done that with SOS juice and in a Eric Hagar with um, farm x a hydroponic, our business he has out in Richmond is done at as well. So we're looking at, it's the whole ecosystem of urban agriculture and seeing how we can come in and adding value to the whole thing. And I think it looks like, you know, these value added [00:11:30] products in actually bringing in all the, the resource that foraging, all that stuff is out there, needs to be accounted for and actually redistribute it or sold even instead of wasting instead of wasting. So that's the, that's what we're looking at on pharmacy. So we're looking at, you know, making medicines and making food for the community, but also looking at, Speaker 3:I mean is there a place people can go that would Speaker 2:be amazing. I mean I think that's like some steps down. I mean one thing I will stopped when I stopped doing SLS, I'm just doing the deliveries for SOS. Did you stop it at farmer's market and I just doing deliveries, I was like, [00:12:00] well we just need a brick and mortar space. Right. And I was thinking, wow, we need this, this urban pharmacy cafe, you know, type of thing. Speaker 3:But that is something on your radar? Yes, Speaker 2:definitely on the radar. Definitely on the radar. Yeah. Speaker 3:Yeah. I read that you, you would camp out yourself in front of fast food places and sell your SOS juice. Is that a correct story there when you were starting out with, they sort of like a guerrilla like, hey, you don't need to eat that stuff. You need to eat this stuff. Speaker 2:Right. Well it w w this saw like we just camped out like you got occupied in McDonald's. It [00:12:30] was more like, um, you know, we would just out in the neighborhood, I mean, and then when you're out in the neighborhood and in West Oakland or you know, different places, right across the street, there's a KFC or right across the street there's a liquor store or whatever it is, shelling, um, you know, flaming hot Cheetos or whatever that is. So we sort of just had the music pumping and we were just giving people food. You're giving people, did you serve any juice to people? That's the, that was the most fun actually being you done. I mean, he started just giving direct one thing. We chose the Jews [00:13:00] because it's just the, it's immediate. You have, did you actually experience it right then and there you experienced the difference as well. So, yeah. So that's what we did in any medium. People had different reactions to it, but it was, it's all like sort of disruptive but very fun and very enrolling for people. Speaker 3:So going even back a little bit farther, you've worked with Van Jones, you are green for all fellow. What does that mean when you're agreeing for all fellow? Speaker 2:Yeah, well th like back in 2008, um, I was a part of the, the public launch of green for a, with Allie star. She was [00:13:30] the campaign, the event chair and um, a bunch of great group of people. We're, it was a transition from Ella Baker Center to create this new organization because van was sort of transitioning to this like green space and looking at green jobs and putting that meme into the national nomenclature. So I was really super inspired and we know, we said we created this national event in Memphis on April 4th Martin Luther Kings, a commendment of assassination date. That time it was a 40th that that was a public and ourselves event spotlight organizer for that. [00:14:00] And then eventually it was organized for that. The innovation came back and me an event spotlight organizer for before the 2008 presidential elections. So did I want just stuff around the country, just look into different communities and really just looking at what was actually happening on the ground and bringing the stakeholders together to have an event, bringing those folks together and to see what can happen after that. Speaker 2:So just organizing basically around green jobs and for the communities and look different, different places. From there I sort of stepped away, but then it was this whole [inaudible] green frog fellowship [00:14:30] organization, not organization, but group that was being formulated from people all around the country. Amazing people who were starting green initiatives in our communities but needing more support or felt siloed or felt like, wow, they don't even want to talking about this. Making these connections between economics, climate change, environmental justice, you know, trying to figure out to put those pieces together. And in, so from that point the green foul fellowship came to birth and we had meetings with Ben actually when we did [00:15:00] the artists story telling things like this. And he talked about, you know, it's just not a narrative. And then really like how do you actually go out and row your community? And actually actually enroll the stakeholders to actually create this shift that we need to have happening. So we've got a lot of training on how to organize it, how to create solutions, Speaker 1:how can you get people even interested in climate change if they don't have jobs. Speaker 2:Yeah. I mean one thing when SOS we were excited about was, you know how we did SOS shadows out of juice bars or whatever popping up. But we did it solo. We did solar power. [00:15:30] In order to to talk about that conversation, you talk about solar power and talk about what we were doing as Wes you, you had to have awareness of our climate change. We talked about, we had localized food, organic food. That's a very big conversation in terms of climate. We actually are a VI veganic organization, SOS that directly relates to climate change. You know, so a lot of stuff we were just doing, we just cute it in and just framed it in such a way that while this is sort of a trend sort of thing, but [00:16:00] also this economic viability in this, but also it adjusts these issue and there's some money like you can make at the end of the day around it. So it was just being creative. Speaker 1:What are some of your challenges in, in the communities you go into? Speaker 2:For example, can, the first time I s we, we, a lot of this started, I remember I was working with people's grocery like years ago. It was going door to door and I'm selling the grub boxes and I was doing the $24 boxes if we you that outside of West Oakland. But in West Oak you can get a 12 bucks organic produce. And I remember once at a door and I was like, wow, this [00:16:30] guy was like, yeah, I see you trying to do some good, but you know, I ain't really gonna eat that. You know, I, you know, I, I got to go down to corner. I get my chicken wings and my whatever, whatever. Right. He was being real. He was like, yeah, I'm not not gonna eat it. Don't even waste your time. Right. What sold me was like, wow, that needs to be a little more education. Speaker 2:That's how I got into more education and I was like wow, they sent me education around the case for it. But all of a sudden needs to be more like sort of detoxification and more like healing [00:17:00] like mentally and just sort of more like self awareness work needs to happen. So dealing with the self needs to be a focal point. Same thing that I went to, I was working on Ace, I was working, I was in a school once school in Vallejo, I was leaving school and my phone got stolen in a school. So I'm trying to say it was a really hard day cause I'm trying to talk to him about everything I was talking about. Climate is the hardest audience that had had and the teachers weren't caring and the students were in caring and it was one of those moments, it's like what am I doing? Speaker 2:Why am I doing this? This isn't insane. Like I can't [00:17:30] even have this come in. I had to step three steps back to the view. None. What am I counting? It was just like, so what's going on with you? What's going on at home? Like talk like this. Let's see how we can, in a 45 minutes that I have, we can have another conversation about why we can't even focus right now. I'm like, what's underneath all that? So what I saw, I was, wow, okay, we need to have a deeper conversation. So a lot of this came out of that, you know, came out of, of looking at not feeling fulfilled at ever enabled to deliver [00:18:00] the real education that was needed, that makes the long lasting shifts and changes that we need on this, on this planet. And especially in these communities. So Speaker 3:you're from Chicago originally. How did you make your way out to California? Speaker 2:From Chicago? I went to University of Rochester. I got, you know, some scholarship money and you're gonna need Musu Rochester, upstate New York. And I graduated from there for double major in music management. I created a major actually in music management. They didn't have that at the time. And then, um, psychology and then a minor in creative writing. I was upstate New York and I have a lot of friends from New York who was going [00:18:30] to school there. So I ended up going to New York right after that, just for a short spell. Did some music, make this album a solo stereo. And I was like, wow, I want to go out west. I want to stay you this transpersonal psychology. I was looking at this spiritual psychology stuff. I was like, that's the next step I want to go in. I had a choice, either work with my uncle in Jersey or go to California. Speaker 2:So I picked up everything and I went to California and went to the check out CIS and then I checked out instead of transpersonal psychology. So I just went to ITP. And where is that? In Palo Alto. And then so I ended up getting, I think it's called Sophia University [00:19:00] and I had a name, had a name change, but then I'm getting really into like indigenous wisdom, shamanism, sound healing, vibrational therapy, that whole world dow is, I'm like really deep into that space. And simultaneously I was touring, I was doing work with wisdom at a time hip hop reggae band. I was also doing, Speaker 3:yeah, when did Earth amplified happen? This is your four piece. Is it still going on your four piece band? Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah, it's still going on. This was when I was going around the country working at green frog and I was a musician and I noticed that what was really [00:19:30] bringing these communities together was the food and the music. Right. And is this essential part of organizing to be able to have that skill. It was a skill. I noticed the how's like wow, can I actually people come together with this and let's figure out how to budget that into our organizing such day are always included. And also I was working at rd and action. Um, Abby started David's Sonia if you know them on an action on revolution. So I was always looking at art in activism, right. And looking at the power, art and music to to create change and get people enrolled and get people listening. From that point I was like, wow, we need to have like an official gree [00:20:00] hip hop album. Speaker 2:There's no album that's like all the tracks are dealing with. The whole album was jelly with this conversation. Like socially conscious is socially conscious and super like, yeah, we're going to talk about climate change. You're going to talk about food deserts, all this stuff. GMOs are that. We're going to talk about that in the music. You know, it was going back and forth to New York. I was in New York a punch.
