Emailing "It Came from Twitter: Re:Vision"
A new Twitter follower! We don't get one every day, so humor us...
Urban dwellers can be a green bunch, honestly (and I type this with a straight face).
It can be argued that by just living in walkable, mass transit-friendly cities, citizens can enjoy a pretty low-impact, sustainable lifestyle -- air quality notwithstanding. But then the moment comes that you choke on diesel fumes while waiting for a bus and you look around and ask yourself, how the [bleep] is this supposed to be green?!
Enter Stacey Frost's
Urban Re:Vision, sponsors of "competitions for visionary thinkers."
Re:Vision is a diverse group of people focused on changing the urban landscape by reimagining all the components that make up a city block. From energy to transportation to commerce to community, we believe that by finding innovative, healthy and sustainable ideas to help revitalize one urban block, we can create a blueprint for better cities everywhere.
The site provides tons of resources to explore green urban architecture, transport and what it takes to make neighborhoods sustainable and accommodating to residents' needs. There's even
some insightful Q&As with Steve Wozniak, GM's Vicki Vlachakis and Earth Day Network's Sean Miller. Give it a visit.
