Over at Ecolocalizer, Rhonda and I are working on a fun project! We’ve realized that our neighborhoods have a lot in common. She lives in the Bayview area of San Francisco and I’m over in Edgewood, just east of downtown Atlanta. We’re exploring the ups and downs of trying to live sustainably in our respective areas and hoping to learn from each other at the same time.

If you want to check out the posts we’ve written so far, here they are!

If there’s anything Atlanta- or Edgewood-related that you think would fit into this project, I’d love to hear about it! Feel free to send me an email through the contact page or leave a comment right here!

You can watch the whole documentary for free on Hulu! The Future of Food gets into the safety and ethical issues behind patenting these organisms and introducing them into our food supply. It’s definitely worth a watch, whether you worry about this issue or not!

I had such a great time doing that roundup last Friday, I thought I’d do another one! Here are a few things from me and a few things that are totally rad that I ran across this week:

From Me: Let’s do some green spring cleaning! Here’s a method for Kitty Bento

My pal Christy and I were talking about apartment composting solutions not too long ago, and it got me thinking! For a lot of folks, starting a bin feels daunting. I was totally intimidated by the idea before we set up our own back yard bin.

A little research turned up a few easy ways to get composting whether you live in a house with a yard or a teensy apartment! I even found an awesome video on starting your own vermicomposting setup that makes me sort of want to start my very own! Read more about easy composting options over at Ecolocalizer!

We’ve got a rain barrel on either side of the back yard with a drip irrigation system that feeds the garden out back! Dave pretty much built the whole thing with some help from his pops. I got him to give me the nitty gritty details for Ecolocalizer!

With all the good rain in the past week or so, our barrels are all ready to see us through if there’s a bit of a dry spell!

Mun is Dun!

It’s finished! Months and months ago, I ordered a Munny from Kid Robot. Since then, it’s been sitting in the den, taunting me with its blankness. I finally got an idea a couple of weeks ago: turn the Munny into a tree! Lots of cutting, paint, moss, cupcake toppers and glue later, he’s done! Hurrah!

It just so happens that my idea hit at just the right time! There is going to be a Munny show at MINT gallery on September 22nd! Hurrah! They said I wasn’t too late to enter, so you can meet my Munny in person there! That is the same day as the East Atlanta Strut, but I’m planning to drag my exhausted self over to MINT to check it out, too!

In other news, I wrote a little post over on Ecolocalizer on planting a fall garden. The container garden out front sort of has me plant-crazy! Lori hooked me up with a cabbage plant, and I’m trying to get some basil to sprout roots. I think I need more pots!
