A suburban CSA powered by Solar power and Bio-Diesel fuel

Visit to Anchor Run Farm – CSA in Wrightstown, PA
First of a series on Urban Farming
All the electrical power for the farm is supplied by a solar array. The farmer uses a 1950 vintage tractor powered by bio-diesel fuel, that exactly fits the needs of an organic farm to seed and mechanically remove weeds. This documentary was produced by Julia Hoff from Greendocs for PhillyEcoCity.com

The Great Philadelphia Cleanup Day: A story in words, images and video.

For the first time, Heather Craig and Julia Hoff from the Drexel University Film Department went out to document the cleanup for PhillyEcoCity.com. See their video right here.

Two lines in the city tally of the Great Philadelphia Cleanup Day caught my attention:

- 200 Community organizations involved

- 14 Churches or faith-based institutions involved.

I think the impact of the Great Philadelphia Clean Up Day goes far beyond the statistics tallying the outcome of the operation. In my experience, the Great Philadelphia Clean up Day was a community building event.

I was assigned to the Simons Recreation Center in the Ogontz Section of the city. I got there and landed in a crew who was cleaning a long block of Walnut Lane bordering the sport fields of the Simons Recreation Center. Carl, Malcolm and myself discussed the finer points of comparative religion while picking up trash along Walnut Lane.
