    The longer a person stay homeless, the easier it gets for them to be comfortable or give up. So I think if Freegans are going to be around..

OnMilwaukee.com celebrates “Green Month”

Tags: green month, urban ecology center, freegans, mmsd, urban aquaculture center, organic, green backyards, going green


You don't have to be Al Gore to know it's "do or die" for a healthy, lasting planet Earth. Luckily, there are lots of people in Milwaukee rolling up their sleeves and doing innovative and often challenging work to make this happen. OnMilwaukee.com salutes these efforts and in the spirit of "think globally, act locally," dedicates the month of April to the local green movement.

Every day this month, OnMilwaukee.com will feature at least one article about energy conservation, alternative transportation, recycling, healthier living and ways that you can help Milwaukee go green and stay there.

We hope you enjoy profiles on the Urban Ecology Center, the Urban Aquaculture Center and a local organic farm. We'll also post tips on how to have an eco-friendly yard and pack greener lunches, articles about green construction, the truth behind bottled water, a tour of the MMSD and more. Plus, you'll meet the groundskeeper for the Milwaukee Brewers, and local "Freegans" who are committed to eating discarded food and furnishing their homes with curbside finds.

OnMilwaukee.com knows it's not always easy being green, but it's worth it. Happy Green Month, Milwaukee.

Correct, you don't have to be Al Gore, but you do must have the mentality of sheep to blindly follow the Green idols. OMC, see ya in May! I'll leave the lights on!
