Sustainable Flatbush Another Brooklyn rooftop farm for 2010!

brooklyngrangefarm.com
Just a century ago, much of North Brooklyn was a sprawling agricultural breadbasket that supplied food to the booming population of New York City. As the city expanded, this bucolic setting gave way to industrial development and farm ­fields disappeared under blocks of factories and warehouses.

Sustainable Flatbush Council on the Environment's Holiday Recycling Tips!

cenyc.org
• Sending cards? Try e-cards or look for greetings made with recycled content (the more post-consumer content, the better). Include a note with your cards that they can be donated for reuse by sending to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, where they will be repurposed into greetings for 2010.

Sustainable Flatbush Great Streetfilm about Curitiba's first Pedestrian Street! Contrary to conventional wisdom, this is GOOD for business...

www.streetfilms.org
This is the third installment of videos from Brazil. Demonstrating again how Curitiba Brazil was 35+ years in front of our NYC livable streets curve, this video is about a street transformation.

great films, very inspiring. Makes you wonder why there hasn't been more innovative thinking in NY.

Karen, there is actually a LOT of innovative thinking going on in NYC! Check out the miles of new bike lanes in all five boroughs, pedestrian plazas in Times Square and Madison Square and the Meatpacking District, protected bike lanes on Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Manhattan and coming soon to Prospect Park West!

The reason is because the current... See More head of NYC's Dept. of Transportation is looking at places like Curitiba, Copenhagen, Bogota, etc. for Livable Streets "role models", and because of years of advocacy by groups like Transportation Alternatives and TimesUp! and, more recently, Streetsblog and Streetfilms.

action.workingfamiliesparty.org
On Wednesday, the MTA will vote on huge service cuts to subways and buses. New Yorkers already paid fare hikes this year so service cuts wouldn't have to happen, and transit experts say much of the MTA's proposed cuts aren't necessary. Sign the petition:
