Free LEED Certification to Groundbreaking Projects in New Markets + urban ag in Japan

A couple of days ago I was soooo excited to see an article about urban agriculture in Japan, it's rare to see English language articles about urban agriculture in any other Asian countries besides Singapore and China....and Singapore is only recently. The article was actually a reprint from the Washington Post. But a few days ago we got the real deal, urban farming in Tokyo.

Al-jazeera has raised the profile of peak soil, including this little, big tidbit from the Soil Carbon Sequestration conference: "Soil provides an estimated 1.5-13 trillion dollars in ecosystem services annually.  

-Registration is now open for the 2013 Aquaponics Assocation conference in September.

-A fantastic announcement from LEED. There are 112 countries without a LEED certified project, the first project in a new LEED market will get free LEED certification!!!

-And to wrap up the day...here's Edmonton's answer to the Highline.
