10 Ways to Make Your Street More Green
No greenwashing and no green posing. An eco-tattoo is one thing but you could also start an urban farm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you felt so inclined. As a collective, RTS shares the ideal of community ownership of public spaces. In other words: get more green and get more street. Now.
What better way to start greening the street you walk on than by wearing earth-friendly shoes? This means recycled and it means vegan and it even means soy based ink on the friggin' shoebox. Oh yeah, keeping the soul on your soles also includes organic and Fair Trade varieties. Our favorite men's and women's casual sneakers.
2. Green graffiti
Graffiti has been a vital form of artistic expression since the age of cave drawings. Since those spray paint cans are a toxic nightmare, how about using grass and moss to leave your tag? Get the recipe and get busy.
3. Guerilla gardening
Brian Merchant calls it "a vandalistic act of subversion--using flowers and plants instead of rocks or spray paint as weapons." Hey, what's wrong with rocks? Anyway, guerilla gardening is a way to take back your street from all that asphalt. Follow the twelve basic steps to get started on your first foray behind enemy lines.

4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Seed bombs
Once again, despite the military-sounding name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we're talking creation, not destruction. Seed bombs, says Jasmin Malik Chua, are "compressed balls of soil and compost that have been impregnated with wildflower seeds. Jettisoned onto barren, abandoned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or otherwise inhospitable land, including construction sites and abandoned lots." For some folks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's an art form. For many others, it can be a way to feed a family. For environmentalists, seed bombing is a powerful form of political expression. Whatever your individual motivation might be, seed bombing is a form of non-violent direct action in which just about anyone can participate.
5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Billboard liberation
The Billboard Liberation Front states its ultimate goal as "nothing short of a personal and singular Billboard for each citizen." So ask yourself if the billboards on your street are green and if not, how soon can they be liberated?
6. De-lawn
The single most irrigated crop in the United States is lawn. Yep, 40 million acres of it for which Americans collectively spend about $40 billion annually on seed, sod, and chemicals. Imagine, as Food Not Lawns does, each house not with a lawn but instead with a small organic "Victory" garden from which their family is fed.
8. Turn off those lights
Embrace the dark side and learn to once again appreciate the night sky. A "perpetual twilight" negatively affects the lives of birds and other animals along with humans, of course. Dark is green and dark is street.
9,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Green alley
Don't forget to check the alleyways. Green alleys incorporate characteristics like permeable pavements (asphalt, concrete or pavers), open bottom catch basins, high-albedo pavement (to reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and recycled materials, such as concrete aggregate, slag and recycled tire rubber. If your alley's not green, write someone about it.
10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Community gardens
The mother of all street greening tactics, the community garden creates both greenness and solidarity. The American Community Gardening Association lists some of the benefits of community gardens: improves the quality of life for people in the garden, stimulates social interaction, encourages self-reliance, beautifies neighborhoods, produces nutritious food, preserves green space, reduces city heat from streets and parking lots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and provides opportunities for intergenerational and cross-cultural connections
