Nature to the Grid: Urban Farming
Thursday, November 4th, 2010
This is a follow up on the Nature to the Grid theme I wrote a few posts for last year (see below for links). This one was sparked when I met with a friend of mine, Daron Joffe aka FarmerD, the other day in Berkeley. He’s a dynamic farmer developing sustainable environments. Gardens, farms, communities, and now urban farming projects. Urban gardens and farms are what seem to be the beginning of ‘greening’ our cities. A functional aesthetic.

Environmental Advocacy
Sunday, April 19th, 2009
With Obama’s stimulus package passed, it is a victory nationwide for treehuggers and environmentalists alike. It is the tipping point for a movement that’s been building momentum for decades. I’ve recently gotten involved with the Sierra Club here in Philadelphia, and you can see the glimmer and the mist in these peoples’ eyes when they talk about the times we’re in. The love for the planet now makes economic sense. From the need for energy independence, to skyrocketing health care costs, to an economy in depression, the time has now come to renew our world.

Breaking Sustainability down into Markets
Sunday, March 29th, 2009
I’m always talking about sustainability, and as awesome as it is to ponder how it will save the planet and 
create a spiritual transcendence and all that good stuff that makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside, I thought it’d be smart to put a practical edge on the whole thing by taking a look at the actual markets that make up LOHAS (lifestyles of health and sustainability) and what type of numbers are behind them. This movement is growing fast and is creating incredible value in our economy. I believe it will gradually work it’s way into every imaginable vertical and serve to harmonize the economy into a holistic transcendence beyond capitalism. My friend Lee and I like to call it ecolism as I’ve mentioned in past posts. Here’s a breakdown of the current markets of the “sustainable economy”, what products and services they offer, and which ones are growing fastest.

How to Drink Enjoyably During a Recession?
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
With the way the economic status of America is heading, extra indulgences in life are far from being enjoyed. Amongst this is of course Wine. As we all know wine is not cheap. If you are able to get a cheap bottle then drinker beware, for most of what is out there is not great quality. I have found myself drinking more South American and Australian. These wines, you are going to find affordability as well as drinkability. If you want a French or Italian wine then you just need to know what you are looking for.
