Pedal to the Metal

NYC launched its bike sharing program this week, with 300 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, for a total of 6,000 bicycles.

There's a station in the pedestrian plaza across from my office building, which seems to be getting a fair amount of use.

It is hoped that bike sharing, among other things, will help to reduce traffic congestion, while boosting air quality and physical fitness for users.

Still Life

Just Getting Started!

At work, last month, we celebrated Earth Day by inviting Anne Pope (Founder & Executive Director) and Kady Ferguson (Director, Zero Waste Program) of Sustainable Flatbush to talk about the organization and all the great things they're doing to green their Brooklyn community.


As an added bonus, they showed us how to make little seed starter pots by wrapping newspaper around a jar and then tucking in the ends.

 

If all goes well, a few baby basil sprouts should be poking their heads out any day now.

Fingers crossed!

Puttin' On the Ritz!
