Help us Fight Hunger and Poverty

The Recycle Bin Garden Project and Urban Farming joinging forces.

We are partnering with Urban Farming!!! Our community gardening project will be receiving backing from www.urbanfarming.org I am so excited! I met Taja Sevelle today, and she is amazing! Taja is a wonderful person. She has taken her idea of Urban Farming and within a few short years grown it into a huge charity. I look forward to helping to eradicate hunger and help people with their rising food costs by planting as many community gardens as possible. Teaching the skill of gardening, and giving free food to those that need it!

Comminity Garden Project

I run www.therecyclebin.org. I am looking to start a community garden project in the local areas. I am looking for land for use during the growing season. Location Coloma, St. Joseph, Watervliet, Benton Harbor, and surrounding areas. I do not need any financial assistance, or other monetary backing. I just want to teach the skill of gardening to the local kids and anyone else who would like to learn. I would also like to teach anyone who wants to learn; how to can, dehydrate, and freeze their extra vegetables. I believe that these skills are being overlooked and are a necessary part of peoples lives. This project would help people with their food bills while teaching them the skills needed to help them in life. I am from a small town in Nebraska and when I was little we only went in town for cereal and milk and toiletries. Everything else we pretty much grew our selves.

UPS Makes World's Largest Order for Hybrid Trucks

UPS Makes World's Largest Order for Hybrid Trucks

"UPS just announced it has ordered 200 hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) - the largest commercial order of such trucks by any company - in addition to another 300 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles for its U.S. delivery fleet.

The purchase of the 500 additional vehicles means the UPS alternative fuel fleet - already the largest such private fleet in the United States - will grow 30 percent from 1,718 to 2,218 low-carbon vehicles." EcoGeek

I'd like to see every business follow in their footsteps. 2,218 low-carbon vehicles is a great start!
