Take the Green Infrastructure Survey (yes, that means you green roof enthusiast!) - Deadline April 15!!!

I had to make that explicit because I know sometimes people are tired and don't pick up on information which is germaine to them...unless they see key words. The "Barriers to Green Infrastructure
Implementation Survey" is coordinated by Clean Water Alliance and gives us all a chance to share our green infrastructure barrier experiences to alert the EPA and other officials to what's really going on! The deadline for survey participation is April 15, 2011. That's tomorrow, folks!!!!
Who should take the survey? Those involved in

• Green roofs
• Trees and urban forestry
• Rain harvesting
• Downspout connection
• Rain gardens
• Green streets and permeable pavement
• Vegetated swales
• Water conservation retrofits
• Decentralized systems
• This planet!

-Here's a nice story about some folks on the Queen/Long Island border who have mostly financed an urban farm all by their lonesome.

-Will Allen, on the other hand, is getting some help from some friends.$425,000 to hire 150 workers and make 150 hoop houses I only have one question...when is the book out? Because Will Allen's gets all kinds of awards and, indirectly, serve Obama dinner..If you're in Baltimore, you have an opportunity to do Will Allen one better with your own enterprise. Make it big and Obama can eat your food on a DAILY basis!
