How to grow food in cities
The Farm:Shop in Dalston is an ecosystem in a building. It's worth a visit to just look around, but on Sat 23 July you can get a guided tour with one of their eco-engineer founders. Tickets are £10 and the tour starts at noon.

Link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/199-WAYS-TO-PLEASE-GOD/dp/184426629X This book aims to increase awareness about the current state of our environment and Islamic injunctions to play our part in protecting it as guardians of Creation ("We appointed you viceroys in the earth after them, that We might see how you behave.", Yunus/Jonah [10] 14). It includes some disconcerting facts about the current state of affairs, but hopes this will serve as inspiration for positive action (oftentimes saving money at the same time).

 | Casa Verde - International locationThis shows our exact location in Nicaragua. Remember - our main office and starting point is Portland, OR and our international location (the actual Casa Verde site) is based in Nicaragua. This is where students and volunteers will eventually arrive after receiving hands on training in the US to gain the skills and principles of sustainable living. |
Casa Verde - Kno... posted a Image on 4 February 2011 - 3:50pm. | Casa Verde's Nicaraguan siteThis is a view from the beautiful Casa Verde site in Nicaragua. Casa Verde’s Student Center in Nicaragua is being built using sustainable materials and indigenous practices to the furthest extent possible. This supports not only a healthy and engaged lifestyle at Casa Verde, but all infrastructure and buildings will be used as a living educational tools. The facility itself will be a model to demonstrate how to replicate these practices and give students hands on experience with green and alternative systems. |

 | Time's Up! An Uncivilized SolutionWhat kind of life do you want, and what are you willing to do to get it? Author Keith Farnish sees industrial civilization as the most destructive way of living yet devised by humans. And it's over: environmental degradation and depletion tell us it can't continue. The system has myriad ways to make us believe we can't live without it. But Keith believes we can - there are countless ways to move forward into contented, happy, and full lives. We can "disengage" and reconnect with the natural world, ourselves, and others. (www.unsuitablog.com, www.theearthblog.org) |

Indigenous Perspectives Conference
One of Britain's leading adventurers, Benedict Allen, is to open the Indigenous Perspectives Conference on Monday 12th October. Allen is the author of 11 books, but is probably best known for his TV programmes of exploration and endurance. His first-hand experience of indigenous people in jungle, tundra and desert qualifies him to speak with authority and warmth at this one-day conference at the Pierian Centre.
