Grow Your Own, N'York!

New York is America's most ecologically-sustainable large city.

Imagine that.

Largely due to the reduction (b'lieve or not!) in auto usage because of the extensive subway and rail system...

Go NY!

-And now it's time for each of us, in our own households, to take it a step further.

We can green this city more-- and it's up to us, one household at a time, to do it ourselves.

Growing our own veggies, organically, year-round. Composting for rich, nutritious soil and minimized household waste. Gardening on rooftops, windowsills (esp. in winter...), front and back yards, in local community gardens... Starting MORE community gardens, and bringing out our communities to participate-- and reap the delicious, self-produced rewards!

Oh, FUN!!

Sprouting year-round... all KINDS of foods: nuts, seeds, beans, grains, lettuces, greens, radishes, wheat (make Sprouted Wheat Bread-- most nutritious y'can get! Yum!!)... Sprouting isn't just alfalfa sprouts and mung beans ("Chinese food" sprouts)... And sprouting gives you these foods at their Maximum Possible Freshness, Maximum Nutritional Value... and it's EASY, not time-consuming for busy NY lifestyles...

Man-- check out the links to the right, tell your friends and neighbors to get-onboard... Buy what produce you do purchase from local organic growers (there's a BROOKLYN organic CSA (Community-Supported-Agriculture farm) featured among the links as well...).

Feel free to contact me any time at zacklehtinen@hotmail.com... I can happily help you get started... Even in-person, for an in-kind donation or trade...

I c'n also put together "starter kits" with how-to instruction boox included... deliver 'em to ya misself if it's convenient for us both...

Or you c'n just peruse the links to the right, do your own searches in similar realms of inquiry...

and Do It Y'Self!!

Start now! This season! Even Winter!

Yum!

Welcome to Tree Frog Ecology!

This 'blog is devoted to creating the future.

A sustainable future.

A future in which humans no longer need outside sources-- large corporations, factory farms, national governments, even-- to provide basic needs.

A future in which human cultures return (it hasn't been long, really... in geologic time) to respecting and living in accordance with the logic of ecology... Respecting and enhancing existing ecosystems, rather than merely viewing them as potential "resources" for our exploitation.

Enjoyable, self-sufficient, locally-oriented life, no longer mass-control oriented. No longer violence-oriented.

Putting pre-eminence on respecting the living systems of the earth, above our human-centered "economic" interests.

For the future of (human) life on the earth.

Thanks for visiting!
