FOCUSED ON PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND WE HAD SPENT SOME TIME IN A HIGH SCHOOL IN BROOKLYN.
AND THIS ONE PARTICULAR HIGH SCHOOL IS CALLED "RESEARCH AND SERVICE.
AND THE STUDENTS -- THERE ARE A LOT OF STUDENTS THERE WHO DEAL WITH FOOD INSECURITY.
AND SO THE PRINCIPAL AND THE STUDENTS BUILT A FOOD PANTRY WHERE THE KIDS COULD GET, LIKE,
10 GROCERY ITEMS EVERY WEEK FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. AS SO AS WE WERE TALKING, I
TOLD THEM ABOUT ANOTHER SCHOOL I WENT TO. THE MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL DISTRICT
HAS, LIKE, A FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAM WHERE ALL THE FOOD FOR THE CAFETERIA COMES FROM LOCAL
FARMS. >> Jimmy: WOW. >> AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE
SCHOOLS HAVE STARTED ACTUALLY BUILDING GARDENS, AND FARMS, AND HYDROPONIC GARDENS IN THE
SCHOOL AND I WAS SAYING, "OH, YOU SHOULD GET, LIKE, A HYDROPONIC
GARDEN FOR YOUR FOOD PANTRY. AND THEN I WENT TO HBO, AND I WAS LIKE, "HEY, WHY DON'T WE
TRY TO HOOK THEM UP WITH A A HYDROPONIC GARDEN. AND SO THAT PRINCIPAL JUST
REACHED OUT, HER NAME IS PRINCIPAL FARRINGTON, AND SHE JUST REACHED OUT THE OTHER DAY
TO SAY THAT THEY FINALLY -- I GUESS HBO'S CHECK FINALLY CLEARED.
AND SO TWO YEARS LATER, BUT THEY FINALLY STARTED BUILDING A HYDROPONIC GARDEN.

GOOD >> THAT DOES, YEAH IF ANYTHING, NOW, WE CAN JUST
PRESSURE HBO TO, LIKE, BUILD THEM A SOLAR ROOF. >> Jimmy: YEAH
