A Glimpse at Boston’s Original Landscape

Written by bostongreenscene on
by Dan Burgess As summer starts, Boston residents will begin to seek out their favorite public green spaces. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from. Over 2,200 acres of park land within the city are maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department. Of these 2,200 acres, there is a group of parks known as Urban Wilds . Urban Wilds are plots of protected public land that aim to be ‘glimpses of the natural world’ prevalent before the city became the concrete and steel jungle that it is today. The Urban Wilds Initiative (UWI) originally grew from the environmental awakening of the 1970s. Currently, over ... Read Full Story

Smart, Sun-Powered Trash Cans

Written by bostongreenscene on
by Dan Burgess A few months ago while on a run around the city, I stopped and took notice of a new addition to the Boston-area neighborhood in which I reside: trash cans. I normally wouldn’t think too much about this development, but these waste baskets were different. They weren’t the ordinary receptacles I am accustomed to seeing around the city. These plastic containers were big, plastic, and resembled a post office mail drop box that you see on city curbs. Upon further investigation, I was thrilled to realize I was looking at the next generation of trash cans: a solar Cordless Trash Compaction ... Read Full Story

My take on Earth Day: Small can solve a lot

Written by ecosamurai on
Electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles became regular faces in environmental events. But this year, this little guy was at our local Earth Day: ZENN . Achieves the equivalent of 245mpg. Moving 2 tons of metals requires a lot of energy. Typical pickup track weighs about that much. Do we really need to drag 2 tons of steel to transport one person from home to work or to the grocery store? Can't a small guy like ZENN, the low-speed vehicle (max 25 mph), replace the job? What about a Velocab? Or Walk or bike whenever possible? Definately. But how can we make "whenever possible" ... Read Full Story
