#SchoolStreets protect kids from cars and pollution, and create space for #BikeToSchool #FreeRangeKids, #depaving and greening streets. All you need to do is push car traffic a block or two away from the front door for at least a couple hours of the day.

It's refreshing to see this kind of post-mortem on a publicly-funded sustainability project.

Got two little baby pomegranate #trees planted today. Building our backyard orchard one step at a time. Next up will be plums, and then I think we will have to wait another year for the rest. (We have some hardscaping work and #depaving to do first) Someday, our patio will be surrounded by fruit trees and I can’t wait.
