Yes, for those of you who are over 50, childless and raising chickens (can I say “chickenfull”...is that a word I just made up but need to trademark ASAP?) comes the word “grand-chicken”, for poultry you treat like family...but you eventually eat. Anyway, I digress. Add Arlington, VA to the list of towns debating current zoning laws restricting urban agriculture.
-Has everyone been following this Occupy the Farm movement in Berkeley, California? You’ve got to read about it daily, because the situation is constantly evolving, from the original occupation, to the ongoing negotiations and the displacement of the occupiers and more.
How about a quick look at some world green infrastructure news?
-We’ll start off in Britain, where a recent article from the Green Prophet states how gardens play an important role in Islam and Muslim culture and delineates the difference between traditional formal Islamic gardens and gardens reflecting Islamic traditions
-In Kenya, it looks like we have the first rumblings of a green roof movement.
-Lastly in Malaysia, if you have a moment, read more about this groups struggle to save a permaculture influenced farm from the government. And if you are so moved, sign the petition.
