- Micheal Pollan on The Hour speaking about his new book, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto.
- When the weight of a dollar is greater than the value of the earth – A great post from Renee on the rapidly changing face of organics.
- Green Roofs: An Introduction with Pretty Pictures [thanks Leela] – I could really go for the roof for grazing goats.
- One Garden at a Time – Recreating Eden is funding an initiative that will give $1,000 to a community garden in need. Think your community garden could really shine with an helping hand? Applications must be submitted by this coming Monday!!
- Svalbard Global Seed Vault [thanks Nicole] – Super-mega-tough vault is opened in Norway that will eventually hold up to 4.5 million seed samples in long-term, protective storage. More info here.
I’m watching Michael Pollan right now. I’ll echo your comment from the other day – I’m emitting girlish squeals of hysterical, teenage delight.
Is there a list anywhere of which seeds are being stored at Svalbard?
I’ve had to refrain from any further embarrassingly immature comments regarding Mr. Pollan… I’ve been teased enough about that last post. Ha!
I haven’t been able to locate a list of seeds.
I just watched the Michael Pollen interview. Thanks for the info.
Another kink in the do-gooders chain, this is decidedly the worst example of big guys imitating the little guys style, and I fell for it.

Thanks for the tip Renee. I’m going to post that chart in the next Assorted and Sundry installment. Incidentally I’ve had the Pangea soap on the burner for a while as a product review. They are expensive but wonderful soaps.
