A Green NYC? (inspired)

What if we were forced to quickly adapt to new energy sources, new food sources, etc.  What's possible?  How quickly would we adapt?  How might we rethink the urban landscape?

What if people started digging up concrete and planting food/herbs?

Urban Farming is real.  Action towards sustainability in Hunts Point, Bronx, is real.



Green roofs are real.  This is Chicago's city hall.


I think it's going to spread (in spite of maintenance and liability hurdles).
