Today more than half the world&#8217;s population lives, and struggles to live in cities. Our lifestyles are wasteful and polluting, unless we work to make them otherwise. Facing shortages in food and drinking water, traditional energy sources, and a looming crisis in global climate change, it is more imperative than ever before that ordinary people move toward living life more sustainably on a mass scale if we are to survive as a species. The founding members of the Austin-based Rhizome Collective, Scott Kellogg and Stacy Pettigrew, have written a new book called Toolbox for Sustainable City Living: A Do-It-Ourselves Guide. They join us for the hour today to share their insight and answer your questions. <\/p>\n<p>The Rhizome Collective is a non-profit organization based out of a warehouse on the East Side of Austin, Texas. The Collective runs an Educational Center for Urban Sustainability and a Center for Community Organizing. Scott and Stacy have built numerous sustainable systems including constructed wetlands, rainwater collectors, aquaculture ponds, windmills, passive solar devices, and bioremediation tools. They also run weekend seminars in urban ecological survival skills, and have taught workshops all over the world from the Bronx to East Timor. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhizomecollective.org\">www.rhizomecollective.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUESTS: Scott Kellogg, Stacy Pettigrew, co-authors of Toolbox for Sustainable City Living: A Do-It-Ourselves Guide In the second part of our 3 part series, Personal is Political, we focus today on things that each of us can do to lead lives that are more sustainable and earth-friendly, even if we live in a big city [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2749\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
