Green roof to extend over entire European city

Lots of little stories, that fit neither here nor there. But I can't forget to mention...

-A great aquaponics news item from the last week. I've talked a bit about aquaponics being used in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. More programs are underway, including this one which boasts an aquaponics co-op.

-ICLEI and RUAF have teamed up to improve food and nutrition security of urban populations through training and technical assistance.

-City planners in Sudbury are entertaining the idea of asking residents to grow more of their food, while government officials in the Montreal suburb of Côte-St-Luc are easily the most excited elected officials I have ever seen. Talk about support!

-An entire city is slated to receive green roofs! EuropaCity is an entirely new city to be constructed on 200 acres of land in a suburb of Paris.

-For those outside Chicago who can't see the tranformation of the Plant this article helps keep us up to date.
