As an African-American, I became aware that while there’s lots of info on “going green” out there in the media, much of it doesn’t seem to speak to people of color. Nor do we seem to be engaging as much as may be needed; or more likely coverage isn’t getting out there on our efforts. It’s not that we don’t see it and hear about: global warming, climate change, escalating fuel/oil/petrolium prices, deforestation, food shortages etc. etc…. We do-but here is a place, a communtiy where ideas and helpful information can be shared for the benefit of primarily the urban and suburban black community. Above is from my brand new website which is still under construction and then I happened upon this wonderful article in the NY Times today and it highlights exactly what my blog and new website Ecoradish.com are all about.
