(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
Grow Moss
I learned about growing moss at my class last night, "Botany for Artists," taught by Dr. Robert Bergad (Minnesota School of Botanical Art.)
He says it is very easy. So I tried this as soon as I got home, since I had a spore capsule.
Here are some instructions:
Grow plants in abandoned lots
Some folks like to grow vegetables and other plants in abandoned chunks of soil amid urban concrete. There are lots of online resources.

© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.
