Bed Stuy Meadow: Status Report

200X200
Thanks to everyone who's participated so far--The Meadow has 45 people on its volunteer list and a quarter of its budget has been raised! Serious thanks to the THREE Official Meadow Sponsors: Bed Stuy Blog, Brownstoner and Girls Write Now!

Let's not stop. There are still almost three weeks before planting, and that's enough time to get two hundred volunteers and the entire two thousand dollar budget raised. What I am going to be doing is sending out more press releases. What you can do is email this page to everyone you think might be interested!

You Should See This

  • What Not To Do
    An impressive take-down of environmentalism as a cultural force that, alas, leaves the reader with nothing in terms of handling the literal threat of environmentalism in a positive way. We can do better!
  • Monitoring Your Internal Dialogue
    A recipe for figuring out how to sell environmental ideas (well, any idea) and stop preaching to the converted.
  • The Opposite of Gentle
    Over-reliance on GPS and panic-button technology creates under-reliance on common sense in wildlife settings.
  • Yet Another Wrinkle...
    It's a good question, via Slate. What if one country went off all half cocked and decided to try a little freelance geoengineering?
  • Why Waiting On Cap and Trade Legislation Is Good
    via Climate Progress, an interesting political argument for going slow.
  • Mr. Jones Goes To Washington
    Van Jones is the Obama administration's Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation!
  • Geoengineering is scary
    If you want another good reason to get up and do something to change your local environment right now, watch this video. Ken Caldeira explains Plan B, which seems to consist of dumping a bunch of iron filings into the ocean, pumping the stratosphere with sulfur dioxide and making volcanoes erupt.
  • My Bathroom, My Self
    Great insight via the New York Times into the Homeowner's Paradox: what choices do you make when luxury and green are fighting for your attention?
  • .013 Seconds of Guilt-Free Living
    Only $24.95! The problem with Carbon Offsets, via the Onion. For more facts and analysis of carbon offsets, Joe Romm is your man.
  • Step Lively People!
    Nine out of 10 climate scientists surveyed are calling a 4-5 degree centigrade average rise in temperature the best we can hope for given our current political will to stop climate change. All the more reason to change the political will with continued Rogue Responsible Acts, and Bottom-Up Leadership! Let's go!
