Rebecca asked:
02/21/2014
Good Morning. I have been trying to sustain 6 acres in Monroe, in Fairfield County, Connecticut on my own, and have always believed that it could add value to the community, both small, and at large. I would like to find a way to do something valuable with it that adds before the tax gods take it from me after a century or so...
John Calandrelli answered:
02/21/2014

Dear Rebecca, Working Lands Alliance or the Nature Conservency may be better able to answer this. However, from my experience there are variables to consider before knowing what options there are. For instance, by "sustain" do you mean in its most recent natural state? Or is this part of a working farm or timber land? Leaving it in its most natural state in perpetuity would require conservation easements in the deed and to keep that easement when the land is passed down to a relative or sold requires the right kind of lawyer. Putting the land in some kind of protection for future generations of Monroe is fairly straight forward but we don't know what the next century will bring. Connecticut is dealing with the same kind of issue when it comes to state owned land. There is a bill in this year's legislature (SB70) that tries to deal with this kind of land preservation issue. Please contact the local Nature Conservancy as they do this kind of thing as their focus.

connecting with a local healt food store to get bulk cheaper is a possibility.

Not sure that area of Mich. is hot bed for the raw food diet but keep having conversations and you never know.

Are there any programs to help me financially to green my home?
Chris Lobdell answered:

Hi Tanya, Yes, there are a couple programs in the state of Connecticut. Home Energy Solutions is a program started and supported by the CT Energy Efficiency Fund and the utility companies that subsidizes energy audits for homes. This is a good way to get started and to find out what efficiency improvements make sense for your home. Connecticut, through the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority , also has up front rebates to invest in solar electric and thermal for your home. These, along with a 30% tax credit and financing options allows you to make an affordable investment in solar. For more information please give us a call at (203) 642-4105 and we can help you get started. Thank you, Chris Lobdell PurePoint Energy (203) 642-4105

How aquire a plot of land to start a comunity garden in Forest Park, Georgia?
John Calandrelli answered:
07/16/2012

There are details to be worked out but it certainly can be done. These details include (but are not limited to (just got to love that legalese): funding, who owns the land, what is it zoned for, is there remediation needed, who covers liability issues, taxes owed if any, etc. These details will be different state-to-state. As far as funding is concerned, you can start on the internet under grant funders like the TKF Foundation.(410 Severn Ave. Suite 216, Annapolis MD 21403, www.tkffdn.org) In many towns and cities, officials may be willing to work a deal on a space because a community garden will help with local appeal and property values. It may also get a blighted spot of their books because of the volunteer work needed to clean up a site. (the soil should be tested so you don't grow anything in tainted ground) Abandoned property can be a good place to make a deal with the city if the city wishes to pass on the clean up and liability issues to someone else willing to take them on.

Marie asked:
04/28/2012
How do I find out my city's (Albany, NY) carbon emissions? They have a lot of talk about reducing emissions to 1990 levels, but I have not been able to find information on what those levels were in 1990, or what they are now or have been recently.
David Downie answered:
04/30/2012

That is an excellent question. The only source of such information would be the town. 1990 levels for a town or for most states are just a guess. At the national level, the US submitted its 1990 level as part of the UNFCCC. To find out about Albany, I would suggest asking town officials if any Greenhouse Gas Emissions survey exists. If they did one for a recent year, it is possible they have created an estimate for the past.

Kitchen Remodeling. Lexi I totally agree with Andrew: 1. You want to reduce waste as much as possible by reusing or giving away 2. Try to use renewable products and/or recycled products 3. Natural light with high efficient gas filled windows. I would also suggest: • Energy Star appliances that will continue to use less energy. • Efficient light fixtures such as LED’s that will give you great task lighting. • Find a ‘green’ contractor; try the NAHB website or your local USGBC chapter for accredited professionals. • Pick out all your materials before hand, have proper blueprints drawn so there are no miss communications. If we can be of any further help please send e-mail, good luck.

lexi: 1. divert as much of the waste from the demolition away from a landfill as you can. an increasing number of waste management facilities have diversion programs for construction waste that can reduce the impact on the landfill. not sure if there is a habitat for humanity "re-store" near you or a place that takes in used building materials and re-sells them for profit. we have one in our community and its a good feeling to leave something there, i also buy stuff there too. also consider re-installing the old cabinets in a garage, basement or other area of the house (or a friend's house). 2. use materials with low-energy or recycled content. cork flooring, countertops with easily renewable core materials, tile made from recycled glass. the neat thing about all of these is that so many manufacturers have jumped into the game, your kitchen doesn't have to look dull or strictly earth-tone... 3. bring as much natural light into the space as is feasible, which can greatly reduce the amount of time the lights are on. consider the layout and how frequently used task areas (sink, cutting board) may be placed near a window or under a skylight. best of luck, let me know how it goes ...
