Sharon Astyk and the Right to Live Sustainably

Posted by LizM - Site Moderator on February 29, 2012 at 8:00pm 0 Comments

Sharon Astyk is one of my favorite thinkers on resilience and sustainability. She brings it down to the ground where it belongs. In this blog she covers what we need to get sustainability working in our neighborhoods. It's going to take more than canning, kale and clotheslines. It's going to take getting involved at the municipal level as an organized group and at a national level. Many of the things that make living in the burbs potentially sustainable - are actually illegal at this time.…

Gifts that empower

Posted by Muhwezi Henry on December 27, 2011 at 1:20pm 2 Comments

The gift of a dairy goat represents a lasting, meaningful way for you to help a little boy or girl and his family get empowered out of poverty.

Goats can thrive in extreme climates and on poor, dry land by eating grass and leaves. The gift of a dairy goat can supply a family with up to several quarts of nutritious milk a day - a ton of milk…

It started with an empty fish tank

Posted by Alan Foster on November 9, 2011 at 11:00am 0 Comments

Having an empty tank was hard to do but needed to keep it down to the one. Using an empty tank in the same room I half filled it with water from the running fish tank, added a piece of ac filter, sprinkled it with basil seeds and turned on a light. As the forest grew I started reading up on aquaponics, and gardening in general. Having tasted freshly grown herbs and veggies, I have been expanding the garden.

There is now a small koi pond hooked to a growbed( both pretty much made using…

Press Coverage

"...the new social network "hyperlocavore," which blends bottom-up collaboration with food production. It's an example of peer-to-peer agriculture, and it's a pretty neat concept. Hyperlocavore just started, so you may not find yard sharing pals in your neighborhood -- so be the first. The founder of hyperlocavore wrote to me, saying that she thought this was a pretty "worldchanging" idea. I agree. Check 'em out."
