This past week saw several meetings and panels on sustainability. Green Phoenix, a permaculture non-profit, met on Tuesday to discuss prospective projects. On the agenda was a plan to bring an organic garden to the White House. The WhoFarm (White House Organic Farm Project) is an initiative to encourage President Obama to oversee the planting of such a garden.
The meet-up allowed members and newbies to network and exchange ideas- even get tips on how to get mold off a shower curtain organically (cedar).

On Thursday, the NYU Sustainability Task Force hosted a panel on bioregional retrofitting. Andrew Faust, an environmental design expert, and Jean Pfifer, an architect, spoke about energy efficiency by design and transforming existing buildings into mean, green Earth saving machines.
