I’m going to be at this WITHOUT A DOUBT. Going to try to drag Judith Helfand out too (she made EVERYTHING’S COOL, the global warming doc about the plight of the messengers – have you seen it?) Also, strange that I didn’t make the connection but YES i know streetfilms. A friend of mine from grad school is an editor there. Small sustainable world. xo N
This sounds great! However, it won’t be easy getting my heavy bike (workman’s bike) downtown. And I just found out I have asthma so I’m thinking exercise away from car fumes (as wouldn’t be the case if I had to ride downtown and uptown, most likely…unless I took the Hudson Parkway or a way along the water)?
hudson greenway has some of the nicest air in town!
Ah, I’m feeling so much better perhaps I will go for it. But maybe it would be overdoing. I think the exploding fire extinguisher in my building is what maybe trigged the relapse.
Anyway, here is a cool vid on YouTube vis a vis Freegans:
