There's nothing like my heart stopping for 10 minutes while having my forehead sutured following a car accident to get me to think about the future of our children's children's children's ... children!

A couple of items for you... "The Urban Farming Guys" and "Climate Reality Project"

The Urban Farming Guys

Food hitting our plates with who knows what pumped into it and growing economic uncertainty. We took the seeds in our pockets and every square foot we owned and went about like mad scientists testing out innovative ideas from all around world and making them work in one of the most blighted neighborhoods in the US. Everything from urban fish farming to alternate energy. Now let's pass it on... to our neighborhoods and the nations. We believe you are part of the solution. http://theurbanfarmingguys.com/

Hang in there past the first 90 secs in this video, you'll be impressed...

The Climate Reality Project - Sep 15

“24 Hours of Reality will focus the world’s attention on the full truth, scope, scale and impact of the climate crisis. To remove the doubt. Reveal the deniers. And catalyze urgency around an issue that affects every one of us.”

I've been asked to present Transition Towns at the New Zealand portion of this worldwide event - in One Minute, using One Slide - a great challenge! :-)

It was the Transition Towns presentation on Urban Food Production today at the cathedral. There were three speakers on the subject, all taking different approaches to the problem of what to do about food in the city.
