Urban Sustainable Living: A Reason for Hope

Category: Gardens, Survival – jj_murphy – 1:57 pm

What began as a lead on one really cool housing idea, led to the discovery of one of the most environmentally-aware websites I have seen in a long time.

A visit to Patti Moreno at GardenGirlTV is time well spent. Patti, a self described, generation xer, “gets it.” Even better, she puts the principles of small scale sustainable agriculture to work in Boston, Massachusetts and documents the results in words and video.

This site is attractive and full of useful, accessible information, but it is not cluttered. I have watched several videos and feel like I’ve known Patti for years. The videos load without a problem and the content is well-paced.

Patti is young enough to be my daughter, which gives me hope that she is one of many people who are already effectively applying sustainable living to their daily lives and teaching these values to their children.
