The Birds, the Bees…and the Bats: Rooftop Meadow Restores NYC Nature

March 20, 2018

Rooftop Meadow in Greenpoint, Brooklyn brings native species back to the city, but not where you might think… Continuing the quest to find out what “sustainable living” looks like in a big city, I found myself this past Friday at Kingsland Wildflowers, a rooftop meadow in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, right next-door to New York City’s wastewater … More The Birds, the Bees…and the Bats: Rooftop Meadow Restores NYC Nature

Apes and Palm Oil: How YOU can save orangutans with your groceries

Hello All, Made it to Tennessee! And my bag was found! Greyhound has slightly redeemed itself. I promised myself that if I got my bag back, I would write a glowing review about greyhound, because there are hardly any success stories online about greyhound returning lost bags, and I wanted the world to know it … More Tennessee Bound – Greyhound Luggage Experience
