Local Gardening, Healthy Communities


Rating: 5
With great weather and desire for healthy living and delicious food, there are over 100 community gardens in Charlotte with more emerging everyday. Friendship Gardens, Sow Much Good and the Field to Fork Program are three organizations leading this charge: The Field to Fork Program is a partnership between Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Mecklenburg Country Health Department, Charlotte Green, and Fuel Pizza where elementary students learn about gardening, nutrition, and healthy cooking by growing vegetables that they cook on homemade vegetable pizzas. Sow Much Good brings access, awareness, education and tools for local sustainable food sources to low income, underserved populations to create healthier people and communities. Through a network of gardens across Mecklenburg County, Friendship Gardens Charlotte creates community around local food traditions, growing healthy food, making it available to all — especially those with limited access — and sharing knowledge and passion for sustainable food production.

KATHMANDU Nepal


Rating: 0
Located between China and India, Kathmandu is a metropolis in the heart of the kingdom of Nepal, a land of snow-white mountains and home of the gods. It was only a few decades ago that ancient Nepal opened its borders. Until then, due to the command of the ruling Gurkha Dynasty, the ‘Home of the Divine’, was totally isolated. In the heart of the city is Durbar Square, in which the country’s royalty resided until 1908 and also where the region’s most important festivals take place. The Shiva-Parvati Temple dates back to the early years of the Shah Dynasty and its five sectioned, portal-like frame contains inscriptions that are thought to be the oldest in the Nepalese language. The large Jagannath Temple is dedicated to the god, Krishna, and to fend off the prudish Goddess of Lightning, sexual images adorn the edge of the roof. Built above an impressive array of steps, the mighty Taleju Temple overshadows each of the other temples. The architecture of this ‘mountain temple’ emphasises the unique importance of the goddess Shiva. Kumari Ghar is the residence of the living goddess Kumari. For this role, a young girl is duly selected and is disallowed from leaving the palace until puberty, her task being to affirm the king his power. The customs of the people in this ‘Kingdom on the Roof of the World’ may seem strange to those from beyond its borders but this land of both jungle and everlasting snow, has developed according to its own rich traditions and beliefs.

Kohler Sustainable Design – Built Green – Hillside Home


Rating: 4
On a steep lot that was initially considered to be unbuildable, a dedicated team of design professionals produced the first LEED-certified-Platinum home in Marin County, California. Nice trick. But how did they do it? www.us.kohler.com Like good magicians, the team took care to keep the backstage machinery well out of the spotlight. As builder Michael McDonald says, “We try to make the sustainability aspect of it disappear.” That artfully hidden green technology includes in-floor hydronic heating, a solar array that provides 60% of the home’s electricity, LED lighting, cabinetry and floors made from sustainably harvested woods -even the roof is made of recycled metals. Take a revealing look behind the scenes at a home that stands at the very apex of sustainable design.

GOLFE DU MORBIHAN Brittany, France


Rating: 0
The Golfe du Morbihan is situated on the south coast of Brittany and protects the region from the strong currents of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a fascinating coastal landscape with huge castles and extensive sand dunes. Influential and wealthy ship owners once settled here. They ran the East India Trading Company that earned high taxes for the French monarchy. The present day harbor makes it difficult to believe that it was once a busy centre of trade with the distant Orient. The town’s well preserved buildings indicate its former wealth and ferryboats travel to the village on the opposite side of the Lorient, that still boasts a splendid array of huge warehouses. The megaliths of Carnac are stone relics that are 1000 years old and date back to the middle of the Neolithic Period. Although they have been analysed by scientists, they are nonetheless full of mystique as four long avenues of mighty stone known as ‘Alignments’ extend across 8 kilometres of scenic terrain. The enchanting medieval city of Auray is situated on a bend of the Riviere d’Auray that flows into the Golfe du Morbihan. The city has earned its place in the history books of Brittany. Here, two families once fought to rule this land and a battle decided which one! The attractive charm of the Brittany landscape owes much of its allure to its picturesque old stone houses and idyllic bays. The Golfe du Morbihan, with its numerous islands both large and small, is a French paradise set along the rugged Atlantic

euronews reporter – Greece: a rural exodus


Rating: 4
www.euronews.net Angeliki Mihou has decided to take her future into her own hands. Last year, this Greek mother of two returned to her parents’ village to start a new venture… snail farming. Unable to find a job in Athens or in the city where her husband works, Angeliki now lives in a small town some 100 kilometres from the capital. She is hoping that raising and selling about three thousand kilos of snails per year will lead to a better life for her and her family. The farm however, is not without its risks. After investing her life savings, about 17 thousand euros into this new business, Angelika tells euronews about the uncertainty she faces: “I didn’t borrow any money and even if I had wanted to, the banks wouldn’t have given me any. It’s all my money. All my savings. So I hope this works and I’m doing all I can to make sure it does.” Angeliki is one of the 60 thousand Greeks who has gone into farming over the past two years. She is also part of a new Greek exodus – a young generation which instead of going abroad, is going back to its roots, its rural villages, its home and especially its family. Angeliki Mihou explains her new farm would never have been possible, were it not for the backing of her father: “I needed some land and I would never have been able to do this without this land which belongs to my father. Also I needed help with the children and financial support. Right now it’s my father who is helping us and I couldn’t have done it without him.” Almost
