Green thumb heroics
Three years ago, he was lauded as a hero. But today, he continues to help others, though not in means most people would consider brave or noteworthy.
Michael Travis, along with two friends, pulled a man from a fiery tanker about to explode in September of 2003. He received nationwide recognition for his heroism.
These days you’ll find him looking for new places within Detroit for vegetable beds. He’s working as the co-director of Urban Farming, whose goal is to reintroduce growth to the inner city, while producing edible goods for others. The harvested produce is donated to area food banks and homeless shelters.
His day to day work is a new brand of heroism: living and working to improve the lives of others, while bettering the urban area he calls home.
I am happy to see this publication and this particular article. Michael Travis is doing great things in our world, and it is good to see a hero continue to do positive things in the community. I applaud your publication and all that you are doing to promulgate positive stories!
Thank you!
