Eating Animals
Our situation is an odd one. Virtually all of us agree that it matters how we treat animals and the environment, and yet few of us give much thought to our most important relationship to animals and the environment.

A Treehouse Grows in Brooklyn
“Alexandra Meyn built a treehouse behind her apartment building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Since graduating from the Pratt Institute in May with a degree in interior design, she has been unable to find an internship or a job. “I decided to create my own,” said Ms. Meyn.

The American Jobs Act
“We have to ask ourselves, “What’s the best way to grow the economy and create jobs?”
Should we keep tax loopholes for oil companies? Or should we use that money to give small business owners a tax credit when they hire new workers? Because we can’t afford to do both. Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires? Or should we put teachers back to work so our kids can...

Residents of Bainbridge Street between Malcolm X Boulevard and Stuyvesant Avenue no longer see a blue, boarded fence behind King Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church.
About 25 neighbors grabbed paintbrushes and pails Saturday afternoon and changed the face of the fence into a colorful mural. Neighborhood children teamed with adults and professional artists to create a hodgepodge of images on...

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
“Why eat less meat? Eating lower on the food chain is probably the single most important thing you can do to help the environment. If the whole world stopped driving cars and SUVs, shipping goods in tractor trailers, flying planes, sending freighters across the ocean and all other transportation activity, it wouldn’t do as much as if we all just stopped eating beef.

Masstransiscope
I took this video yesterday while riding the B train. I pass this work of art during my morning commute on the Manhattan- bound B or Q train from Dekalb Ave. The art appears right as you leave the station, on the right side of the train, just before heading over the Manhattan Bridge.
Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope was installed in the abandoned Myrtle Avenue subway station in Brooklyn, New...
