Do we need a new city? Is there something wrong with our old city? Sure, there are a lot of things going right in this big urban place we live in – a vast public transportation network, small & densely packed dwellings (saving on energy & other resources), new & improved bike lanes & pedestrian areas, great parks. But there is still a lot of room for improvement. “What?” you may ask. Come to the Festival of Ideas for the New City to find out what the true visionaries are already doing & planning to pave the way to an even better city.
MOS Collective at the Festival
Come for the StreetFest on May 7th to visit an incredible array of organizations & individuals reshaping the city. I’ll be there with the MOS Collective, doing free demos & selling my body care & cleaning solutions. And I’m breaking out my personal care product body map for the occasion (see below). My pals, DeeDee & Marga, also of said Collective, will be creating personalized maps, highlighting your favorite sustainable resources throughout the city. Shig & Annie will be singing the praises of compost (Annie might also be selling her book, Gastropolis
