Orlando Event TV interviews Ann Lemis of Green Sky Growers, a technologically sophisticated and sustainable rooftop garden in Winter Garden, Florida.
This 4th-floor hydroponic sustainable garden is located immediately next to the Garden Theatre in a city called Winter Garden, which is just comical. Green Sky sells their lettuce and other products to 8 local restaurants and at the local weekly farmer’s market. See more video about Winter Garden at the Daily City.

Gabe LeBlanc from EcoFactory.com tells us about the worldwide demonstration to raise awareness about the 390ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, but we can only support 350ppm safely. Go to 350.org for more info. Shot at Orlando Brewing.
Gabe bought 350 beers for the first 350 people to show up at 3:50pm in a demonstration he called a “carrotmob” or a “joycott”. I think it’s something like a flashmob, but with a very specific purpose. It was a lot of fun, and I was glad to be able to support a great cause.
Dear eco-freaks:
I know I have not been keeping up with the blogging/podcasting over here at Shrink Your Ecological Footprint, but at the same time I don’t believe people should apologize for not blogging. Still, I think there are some really great resources out there for folks looking for inspiration to get themselves or others motivated to think about what is happening to ourselves and the world right now.
The Conscious Business Podcast is one of many shows published by some nice boys from Boulder at their Falling Fruit website. They are spiritual geeks, as well as often talking about philosophy and environmental issues. It’s difficult to describe exactly what they do, so instead I’d like you to sample some of their best work.
A few months ago, the guys (like the host who always introduces himself as “myself, Theo Horesh”) interviewed Joshua Onysko, Founder and CEO of Pangea Organics, an organic soap and bodycare company. Pangea is one of the epitomic example of a “conscious” business. Not only are they green, but they always pay their emplyees a fair wage and they have even opened up all of the inner workings of their business to the world for scrutiny. More on that in the podcasts though.
The interview is broken into two parts:
How to Build a Better Banana Peel
and
How Responsible Can Businesses Actually Be?
Props to Duff and Theo for their excellent program. I hope they can pass the inspiration along to you.
