WORK HARD, PLAY HARD: that’s our motto. When Halloween falls on a weekend, there’s absolutely no excuse not to let your hair down and put out your freak flag. Dressing up and acting up is fun, it lets us try on different ideas of being, unencumbering ourselves from expectations. Look, Peter’s baby boy Caiden is only a month old, and even he got into the action… he’s even rocking a pose! Hope you all had a happy Halloween…
WE SURE LEARNED A LOT at the Cities Alive Conference two weeks ago, but part of the problem was that there were so many speakers all presenting simultaneously, that it was impossible for any one person to take in all of the interesting information. So as a service to the community of green infrastructure designers and builders, I’m uploading this ten-minute video of one of the panels that Peter and I attended. The speaker in question is George Irwin, principal of Green Living Technologies, a company out of Rochester, New York, that has developed a pre-fabricated tray system for embedding soil on roofs and walls. George is a very emotionally engaging speaker, and he makes a very convincing case for building living walls. Well, we’re convinced, anyways!
