What's a tree worth?

Green roof enthusiasts, here's an annual conference I wasn't aware of that I would recommend checking out...next year. It's called the  International Conference on Building Envelope Systems and Technologies. This year it's in Aachen, Germany and unfortunately there's only two days left.

For those willing (and able) to trade time (if you help with a few things around the farm) for education you can get free accommodations, meals and a permaculture design certificate in Africa. Where in Africa? I have no clue. Contact them and find out!

-The next trend in urban agriculture could be mobile fresh markets. Here's a handy-dandy financial snapshot of the markets already up and running across North America.

-What is a tree worth? A few organizations have tried to put a price tag on them over the years. In a world where almost everything needs to be (it seems) justified economically, this is an interesting attempt by TD Bank to give us an idea. $700? That seems a little low.
