Tilapia Is Tops :

Unlike most farm-raised fish, which must eat other fish to grow, tilapia is an omnivore that can thrive on soy, corn, wheat, algae and plant waste. Plus, tilapia farms can be housed indoors where resulting wastewater and pollution are better controlled. Thirty thousand pounds of tilapia can be raised on just three acres annually — the same amount of space it takes to raise one 650-pound cow. — Slowfoodnation.org

Bike Repair

Rich Krollman (pictured) and others from Time's-Up!, a grassroots environmental organization, created a fitting homage to their many bike-centric initiatives like specialized bike repair workshops and group outings that encourage environmental awareness and community connectedness like the Prospect Park Moonlight Ride. For Park(ing) Day, they partnered with Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery, which uses bicycle-driven cargo rickshaws for deliveries and offers a 25% discount to patrons who arrive on two wheels. Visitors to the Seventh Ave and West 10th St. space were treated to the bakery's organic chocolate chip cookies or organic biscuits for the dogs.
