Puerto Rico’s Future
Caring, creating, and carrying Puerto Rico forward.
Question 1 of 8
How can a hurricane affect everyday life?
The damage matters because of what it interrupts: getting to school, buying food, running a business.
Question 2 of 8
How do a solar panel and a battery do different jobs?
A solar system needs both, which is why design matters as much as equipment.
Question 3 of 8
What does Casa Pueblo in Adjuntas demonstrate?
It kept the lights on and the radio broadcasting when the grid went down.
Question 4 of 8
How does teaching others make a conservation effort last?
A project that only one person can run ends when that person stops.
Question 5 of 8
What does Isla Mar Research Expeditions do?
Trained volunteers monitor reef restoration at Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, among other work.
Question 6 of 8
Why do people say Puerto Rico is more than 100 by 35?
Nearly 6 million Puerto Ricans live in the fifty states. The island is small; its reach is not.
Question 7 of 8
Roughly how many Puerto Ricans live in the fifty states?
More than live on the island itself, which is part of what makes the diaspora central to Week 8.
Question 8 of 8
What does agroecology try to do?
On an island that imports most of its food, growing more of it locally is a resilience question as much as an agricultural one.
What will you carry forward?
Choose five things worth passing on to whoever comes next. Then print your list.
