We may be a long way away from the Garden of Eden, but there are some really interesting projects coming to light and giving birth to new "gardens of eden." Seattle has approved the first urban food forest of its kind. The idea is to have fruit trees open to all to harvest in a public park. In addition, the entire ecosystem of the park is taken into account to make sure it is self-sustaining, a method call permaculture (think shorthand for permanent agriculture).
In novel writer Barbara Kingsolver's nonfiction autobiographical work, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, she chronicles the life of her family living one year on a farm as locally and sustainably as possible. Food, Inc. is a great movie about the industrialized food complex and how concerning it is to our personal and society health, as well as how it damages the environment.
A new film called Elemental looks at various eco-activists fighting for our planet across three continents, showing a commitment to change how we do things and lead us into a new, brighter future. The film looks incredibly beautiful and moving.
