About We Become More - WE BECOME MORE

about We Become More

we become more mission statement:
Learn, volunteer, play, create, build community, and educate!
Community beautification through
conscious action and play.

We become more is working to beautify and improve our community through several projects. We are working to ensure these projects are also regenerative in nature so that doing business today does not negatively impact future generations.

We are trying to raise funds needed to procure a building, 3445 S 291 Hwy
Independence, MO 64057
this building will work to use as a hub for operations, as well as offers the needed space to provide our volunteers and the community with a variety of perks and pleasures to enjoy!
we would like to fully-work this building from the inside to create a totally immersive play-station for people to fill themself with joy!
We will use this building to thank our volunteers and build community connection!

This building is also great for other reasons; This building is only accessable while going North, Which means you can only come and go from here if you're on the "Up and Up".
This building is also at the bottom of 2 hills, which means you can get there till you have made it to the bottom, and when you leave, all you can go is up.
This building was meant for people trying to Become More!

the funds raised through sales of products created, daily and monthly membership fees, and contrabutions from businesses and individuals, like yourself, will be used to offer an aray of volunteer incintives for individuals committed to helping their community! We will offer volunteers who have met volunteer-membership requirements free food, classes, games, special events, exclusive membership pricing on products sold, and more! These services and products will be available to the community at a fee.

In the meantime we have been working on a few other projects:
S.a.w.
the S.mile a.nd w.ave innitiative is probably the simplist form of volunteering to build community; simply Walk around smiling and waving at everyone you see! this silly, seemingly meaningless behavior can change and improve a persons whole day; continue it for a week and people will look for you to wave at!
I like to pretend that the people i am waving at are distant relatives i never get to see!
Dress up in fun clothing for improved results! :D

weeds of worth
One project in the works involves creating compost from the plants growing in and on the sidewalks and driveways around the community! By walking around and pulling the plants up, rather than spraying them with poisons, we can use these "weeds" as the valubale resource they are! By edging the sidewalks by hand, we prevent polution caused by weed-eaters, and the solution lasts longer!
this project involves:
1)LEARN/EDUCATE - what is a weed?(An undesirable plant in a particular situation.)
WHAT THE USES OF THE WEEDS GROWING AROUND US?(nitrogen fixation, erosion prevention, loosen compacted soil, etc.)
WHAT WEEDS ARE EDIBLE?(lots! check out edible weeds!)
WHY ARE THE WEEDS GROWING WHERE THEY ARE GROWING?(there is usually a problem the weed is trying to fix.)
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO help, or should we leave it alone?
2)prevent polution by stopping herbicides
3)removing blight by removing unwanted plants, "Weeds", and edging sidewalks for beautification and imporved function.
4)protecting paved areas by removing weeds and edging sidewalks helping to prevent sitting water and damaged caused by growing roots
5)IMPROVING WATER DRAINAGE BY REMOVING weeds
6)RE-PLANTING desireable "weeds" (PLANTS/TREES)
7)creating compost with weeds and yard waste
8)Learn/educate - what the uses of the weeds growing around us? what "weeds" are edible? Why are the weeds growing where they are growing? is there anything we can do to improve the current system?
9)build community through community beautification and improvement efforts

The compost created using plants that would otherwise be undesirable will be used to create community gardens that will help feed the community
fresh and healthy produce; turning waste into want!
