Friday, April 27, 2012. Review: Urban Roots - farming in the heart of a major U.S. city. What do you do if your city turns into a burned out husk of its former glory, abandoned buildings for miles upon miles, etc? Urban Roots. It takes a look at the Urban Farming scene in Detroit, in several variants of the practice, and it does a great job of making small scale farming look highly appealing. First, what is Urban Farming?

http://sustainable.7gen.com/2011/11/what-is-buy-local-idea-movement-and-why.html
Sunday, November 20, 2011. What is the "buy local" idea / movement, and why should we buy local? Buy Local" is a meme that's beginning to gain traction and is one of the pillars of creating sustainable healthy communities. Like many slogans however it's kind of vague and subject to interpretation and misinterpretation. In case you're curious, the answer is NO. Why focus on locally produced products/services/food/etc? Purchasing locally made stuff from a locally owned store keeps more dollars circulating ...

Sustainable Society: Budweiser's "Grow One Save A Million" idea an example of greenwashing? Or real a water saving idea?
http://sustainable.7gen.com/2012/05/budweisers-grow-one-save-million-idea.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Budweiser's "Grow One Save A Million" idea an example of greenwashing? Or real a water saving idea? Budweiser, really, is this the best way to save a significant amount of water? Budweiser, What have you been drinking? Wait, I've been on the factory tour in St. Louis and I know just what you've been drinking. Use an electric shaver rather than a razor with shaving cream. The electric razor is simpler, has a much lower risk of butchering ones face, and does not require water. Budweis...

Sustainable Society: Villagize may help with de-anonymizing cities so we know our neighbors
http://sustainable.7gen.com/2012/06/villagize-may-help-with-de-anonymizing.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Villagize may help with de-anonymizing cities so we know our neighbors. One of the complaints about modern times is how the technology, and architecture of cities, gets in the way of the humans finding each other. We can drive a 100 miles in the blink of an eye, travel to the other side of the planet in a day of air travel, but do we know our neighbors? Do they have a set of socket wrenches you need to do a project? If you're looking for something, like a MIG welder, you can post o...
