Help Expand the Unconsumption Project
1. What do you propose to do? [20 words]
Expand Unconsumption’s capacity to serve as a resource for sharing stories and ideas about creative reuse and mindful consumption.
Read the rest here.
Remember my post last Monday about Unconsumption being in the running for funds from the Knight Foundation?
Well, thanks to many of you, Unconsumption is among the five most well-liked projects.
Now, to maintain our lead, we need your help — and helping is easy!
- Simply open the Knight News Challenge post here, scroll down to the Disqus comments area, and hit the “like”/thumbs up button, and add a comment. (To do either one on mobile devices, you may need to switch from Tumblr’s mobile view to standard.)
- Also, on Tumblr: You can “like”/”heart” the post and reblog it, to help spread the word.
This is a great opportunity for Unconsumption to qualify for funding to expand our (still all-volunteer!) work in encouraging mindful consumption and reuse. With your support, and that of other friends, we can help make it happen.
So, this isn’t really a Garden in an Unexpected Place, but it’s related …
As many of you know, I’m involved with Unconsumption, the project that promotes ideas of creative reuse and mindful consumption.
Unconsumption is a contender for funding from the Knight Foundation. To keep us in the running for it, we seek your help in getting additional public support for our proposal, as described above.
All support — Disqus likes and comments on the News Challenge Tumblr post here and Tumblr likes and reblogs — you can help Unconsumption receive between now and Thursday, March 29, will help. Thank you!!!

Blanket Bag Greenhouse! What a great idea—especially for small space dwellers. Think fresh herbs in the winter. Yum!

Toronto has an abundance of planter boxes along its streets. Unfortunately many of them have been neglected and have become makeshift trashcans void of any actual plants. Fortunately, Toronto is also home to artist Sean Martindale, who had the vision to beautify the sometimes crumbling cement planters. Having received the Toronto FEAST Project Grant, he recruited 17 other artists, designers, and gardeners to complete his project, “Outside the Planter Boxes.”
Contributor Martin Reis used Legos to cleverly patch some of the planters. Find more photos on his website.

Why not repurpose jackets, or baseball caps or stacks of magazines (click on link for pics), as planters?
