Good words

You need to become what the writer Dan Pink calls "the Greenest Generation," and build the institutions, alliances and programs that will turn back the black tide of climate change and petro-authoritarianism, which, if unchecked, will surely poison your world and your future as much as fascism once threatened to do to your grandparents' world and future.

— Thomas Friedman of the New York Times

Cleveland -- are you taking the commuter challenge?
Start: 9:00 am
End: 5:00 pm

Beginning July 17-31 rethink your commute. Take the Commuter Challenge and try a more sustainable form of transportation for at least one day. Bike, walk or carpool. Try public transit. Alternative transportation can have an important effect on Northeast Ohio's air quality and your health and your wallet.

“For every 20-mile round trip you eliminate, you save a gallon of gas and keep about 25 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe,” explains Amy Wainright, an environmental planner at the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA).

NOACA’s Air Quality Programs are excited to announce this year’s prizes! By participating in Commuter Challenge, and completing the survey at the end, you will be registered for a drawing that includes the following prizes:

  • Cleveland Indians Baseball Tickets
  • Mr. Hero Sandwich Gift Certificates
  • Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Admission Tickets
  • Bodies Exhibition Tickets

In addition, NOACA has a limited number of Laketran bus passes for use during Commuter Challenge. These are available first come, first served, by emailing your name and address to aschmitt@mpo.noaca.org.

Edible Forest Gardens author leads two-day workshop
Start: 3:00 pm
End: 3:59 pm

Do you want an ecologically sound, low maintenance backyard landscape that yields delicious food? Discover forest gardening this summer by attending an evening lecture, a one or two-day workshop, or the 7-day design intensive! Dave Jacke and his band of local permaculture teachers will travel Ohio to bring forest gardening to you and your community!

Dave Jacke runs his firm Dynamics Ecological Design from western Massachusetts, and has designed homes, farms, and communities throughout the U.S. and overseas. The New York Times Book Review (2005) said that Dave’s two-volume book, Edible Forest Gardens, “offers a vision of the garden that reaches well beneath its aesthetic surface and into its ecological depths.”

The book won a Silver Medal from the Garden Writer’s Association and was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine.
