Bakery, laundromat and greenhouse

The Iberoamericana University in the Dominican Republic hosted a green roof symposium a couple of weeks ago. The school administers the program for the country, their stated goal "to preserve the structures of buildings and conserve native and migratory species."With so many benefits to green roofs, I love how different people, companies and municipalities embrace the technology for different reasons.

-In Europe, a Swiss company says it has just opened the continent's largest urban farming project. And they are no shy about touting that, look at that sign!!!

-How's this for an eclectic list of services, bakery, laundromat and greenhouse. These folks in British Columbia pull it off.

-The Design Trust for Public Space has released their toolkit, which they describe as “part how-to guide and part reference for urban farming”. Ohh...tasty


-In India a demo aquaponics project is trying to grow sea bass. You know what I thought of first, frickin' sea bass, of course!
