To date, I have tried to cover a range of topics related to sustainability. But our society faces countless environmental challenges of global proportions.
So today, I pose a question to you, Dear Reader: What are your top environmental concerns; or at least, which topics would you like to learn more about? If you give three specific subjects pertaining to sustainability that you'd like to see on "The Green World," I will make sure I cover them within the next few posts. As I stated in one of my first few blog posts: we are in this together, and so we must learn together.

Sustainable Reading
The Internet is a host of information on becoming more ecologically sound. But let's not forget the print resources that are also available to us. Grid magazine is one such resource.
Grid's motto, "Toward a Sustainable Philadelphia," speaks to its intention of providing valuable, accurate information on the environmental issues our society faces and possible solutions to them. Their latest issue entitled "Moral Support: Earthly Concerns and Religious Commitment Spark the Growing Green Faith Movement," focuses on strides that local religious communities have made towards becoming more green. From Quaker and Catholic to Jewish and Muslim, these believers have really stepped up to the eco-challenge, and Grid says, "hats off to you" for it.
Other topics you can expect from Grid include educational environmental studies opportunities in PA, such as at the University of Pennsyvania, the Waldorf School of Philadephia, Temple University, and Philadelphia University; articles on local farms and farmers markets; healthy, unique recipes such as sausage, kale and white bean skillet as well as chicken and zucchini stew; and briefings on the most local current events regarding ecological matters, such as the Philly Farm & Food Fest.
If you're searching for a reliable resource on sustainability, search no further than Grid magazine. Did I mention it's free? For the purposes of WCU students (who are the ones most likely reading this blog), take a pit stop at Lindsay's Garden in Lawrence Dining Center for your free copy of Grid.
