how big was that number?

statistics made visual

A sustainability research facility with real-world product testing... in Philadelphia, really?

"Urban Green Partnership’s Big Green Building is 80,000 square feet, 8-story building with underground parking, retail, office and residential units, research lab and a community garden. The entire building is self-sustaining so it will consume the energy it creates."

Of course, they have to tear up the local community garden to make way for the big green building. Philly, gotta love it here... ;)

a left coast journalist/promoter chronicles his life. links to dozens of great sites throughout, decent pics and vids, as well as events, reviews, and promotions. graphic, clear, and an altogether easy read. good stuff.
