I'd love a sustainable, sunlit version.
Now I'm just pondering exactly what they mean by "edible plants, fish and humans" :).

This is the blog to accompany Appropedia, the wiki for solutions in the challenge of building rich, sustainable lives.
Follow our blog to understand how things work, and how we're dealing with the challenges of a growing wiki expanding into new areas. Your contributions are very welcome - you can start contributing, let us know your questions (commenting here is one way). You can also keep watching here as we talk about how things work in this wiki world, and figure out where you fit in. (But we'd still love it if you dropped us a line.)

Received an email from the founder of a fairly prominent UK organization, devoted to real-world action for sustainability.

The Netherlands is a country for people who go by foot, bike, train and tram, not built around car drivers the way Australia and many other countries are.

Note: Blog posts are the opinions of the individual blogger, and not necessarily of the Appropedia Foundation or the Appropedia community.

A bunch of different folk are doing BarCamps* on a Green theme. GreenCamps lists the ones I could find, though I haven't had time to organize the page.
Coming soon: The Open Sustainability Conference, October 18-19 in San Francisco, at which the Open Sustainability Network will be launched.
*A Barcamp is also known as an unconference - a very ad hoc conference, mostly but not completely on tech subjects. Think how the conferences you've been to have often been more notable for the conversations that have happened spontaneously, rather than the main talks. A BarCamp has a lot more of the informal stuff, and short talks can be given by anyone, at short notice. You can choose which talks to go to, or just do your own thing.
