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

This gold-rated LEEDs-certified arboreal sanctuary in the city of Portland was created by architects and life partners Melody and Brian Emerick. Their West Hills house, which they share with their two adorable daughters Lily and Iris, is called Northwood, and marries responsible architectural structure with preserved urban forest. Eighty percent of the waste incurred in constructing the house was recycled. The landscape is almost 100% native plants, with no irrigation necessary. We wonder how Melody's healing because she says they are still pinching themselves for this trailblazing creation of a city home within the woods.
