Looks like we made it. I just kept telling myself "Make it to March and you're almost through winter." Not that this was a particularly tough winter in Toronto, not that cold at all. Just very grey and not much snow. I mean, half the fun of winter (for me, at least) is the snow! And the slush. And the puddle ice. But with no precipitation, can't have much of that.
With two days of sun, I'm feeling giddy...
-To start things out, the Sustainable Solutions Series in Los Angeles:The Permaculture Design Course Experience kicks off in just a few weeks. This weekend permaculture design course is run by some of the best in the business (Larry Santoyo, Toby Hemenway, Scott Pittman, John Valenzuela and more!). Check out the video to get a taste for what Earthflow folks are all about.
-Speaking of LA, when is a green roof, not a green roof? When terms like cap parks slowly pick up speed. Cap parks basically cover a portion of a freeway (read highway, parkway, thruway, expressway, turnpike) with a planted concrete lid. And in LA, designs by AECOM for
four projects spread across Hollywood, downtown LA, and Santa Monica, comprising 44 acres, would carry a price tag of $1,000,000,000,000. That's 1 trillion. Wow. Don't worry, you've got a few years to express you feelings about the project before it gets started.
-Cool little organic garden venture in San Diego.
-Today's video! Here's an excellent backyard greenhouse/aquaponic system flic. Automated computerized control and wifi system...the whole nine yards.
