-Recently Atlanta took a step in the green roof bylaw direction, by amending some ordinances to further promote green infrastructure and runoff reduction practices. This is absolutely necessary in a region plagued by drought over the last decade.
-Toronto has been a leader in the green roof movement and last week released some helpful guidelines for encouraging rooftop biodiversity.
Toronto's own FoodShare offers another free download this week, this one describes how their successful Focus on Food Youth internship program works and how you can make it work for you!
-And this one is especially for the kids and those young at heart, the first free online urban design/permaculture game is here!
