The Times is busy with bees


-The New York Times has had a bunch of articles in the last two months about bees. From exploring the proliferation of bees and bee lovers, to reports on bees creating various forms of trouble.  Someone at the Times is definitely smitten
-I neglected to update everyone on the completion of the green roof debate in Toronto City Hall last month. On May 8-9, 2012 all three motions recommended for adoption by the Planning and Growth Management Committee were adopted. The big one is the establishment of a discretionary reserve fund called the 'Eco-Roof Financial Assistance Reserve Fund' to subsidize green roof installation for all industrial, commercial and institutional buildings.
-I love the fact that the Salvation Army has launched this program in Montana to help kids learn to farm, eat and sell their vegetables. If an organization like the Salvation Army can do it there, they could easily replicate the program wherever they have branches...which is practically everywhere!
