yes, we have returned!<\/p>\n

spending a weekend in toronto (or canada in general) always makes us want to do more for the environment. it also nudges us more in the direction of activism. realizing that toronto is a major metorpolitan area, you would think this wouldn\u2019t be the case, but they are very conscious of usage, recycling, etc. up there.<\/p>\n

so – considering the fact that we don\u2019t want to be left behind when it comes to environmental awareness & activism, here are a few links to things happening locally in the western new york community!<\/p>\n

re-tree wny<\/a> – group formed to start the replanting process this coming fall for the trees that were lost during our storm in october 2006.<\/p>\n

streets are for people<\/a> – this group is organized in the toronto gta (mainly the queen west\/kensington market neighbourhoods) to take back the streets for people. buffalo could use a little of this.<\/p>\n

buffalo blue bicycle<\/a> – buffalo\u2019s bike sharing program. a great way for citizens to get back into biking without making a large investment in a new bicycle. you can join the club, learn how to repair bikes and share with other like-minded biking citizens! a season membership is only $25 or 6 hours of service helping to repair\/maintain bikes. not bad!!!<\/p>\n

freegans<\/a> – As it states on the freegan website – \u201cFreegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.\u201d<\/p>\n

push buffalo<\/a> – helping low income individuals and families turn the page and become homeowners – one house at a time.<\/p>\n

massachusetts avenue project<\/a> – the mission of map is to \u201cnurture the growth of a diverse and equitable community food system to promote local economic opportunities, access to affordable, nutritious food, and social-change education\u201d and they have several ongoing programs to help them accomplish these goals!<\/p>\n

queen city farm<\/a> – a project that is still in the early stages, bringing the ability for fresh food and growing to the east side of buffalo.<\/p>\n

i realize that this is quite a bit of information, but we are trying to get back on the right foot with this site. please join us in supporting these amazing groups and give you two cents on the comment board!<\/p>\n

peace & happy marching –
