If you've been reading GreenGrandma's blogs on various websites, you will be tickled to finally meet the grandBaby online in her little shop, and see some of the organic gardening she's been boasting of.
There are only a few designs right now, but I really love the rhubarb nest of wrens eggs. Fresh, and green without kitsch.
It's easier to live green when we are living in a sustainable home - but it's not often that we focus on home when we are trying to make the planet more sustainable. This White Paper on The State of Shelter gives a good context for sustainable home-making, and some great ideas for greening your shelter. And as a bonus, it's available for free re-publication.
Sfter lunch with a business friend, the Green Grandma meditated on the meaning of sustainability both for business and for her grandBaby:
"Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The concept of sustainable development does imply limits - not absolute limits but limitations imposed by the present state of technology and social organization on environmental resources and by the ability of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities."
The Green Grandma feels challenged to consider what has been lost: cheap gas, green meadows, great places, and her innocence. She experiments with mass transit in a community not exactly noted for its rapid transit - in a metropolitan region tied with Los Angeles for sprawl and highway gridlock, she takes the bus and gives it mixed reviews.
