Urban Homestead

Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with the urban homesteaders Path to Freedom. The Dervaes family shows us how they converted a 1/5 acre city lot in Pasadena, CA into an eco-oasis that has reduced their dependence on electricity by 2/3 and increased their goals of living sustain ably and self-sufficiently. From installing solar panels to brewing biodiesel, Path to Freedom has started a what they call a homegrown revolution...using their hands as weapons of mass creation.

How to Buy Green Produce

This week on TreeHuggerTV we are back in the supermarket shopping with nutriton expert Marion Nestle. You may have caught a previous THTV episode when Marion was helping us to buy green milk. This week we're in the fruit and veg aisle and Marion is lamenting the fact that lack of labelling means we can't tell where the apples come from. This is especially frustrating when they are out of season because we can't tell how far round the world they've travelled. Come help us carry the shopping basket and learn more about the pros and cons of selecting organic fruit and vegetables in the supermarket.
