Using green roofs as "polish" + a reintroduction to freeganism

Over the past couple of months I have talked a bit about New York's Highline. This tidbit from the summer fell through the cracks, Jersey City, New Jersey would like a Highlinesque park as well.

We must keep our eye on another developing story here, how parks (and publicly funded green infrastructure) become an unwitting catalyst to "polish" (to use the author's words) the surrounding vicinity.

-It's been a while since I posted anything on the freeganism. Five years ago I would have put this on my burgeoning trends list, but it hasn't caught on. For those new to the idea Utne (via Gastronomica) reintroduces us to the idea.

The article references a Seinfeld episode, but doesn't give the clip. We must rectify this!
