Oakland Urban Farming
The more I research about African-Americans in the recent green movement, I find many resources on the city of Oakland. As a Texan, I'm aware of southern migrants to Oakland and California, but I was not familiar with their experiences after leaving their rural roots for West Coast cities.
I stumbled upon a short documentary on the City Farm News site called Cultivating Community : Urban Farming in West Oakland. It's an inspiring short story of West Oakland's history and its non-profit, City Slicker Farms, who spearheaded the urban farm movement there.
More Oakland: I will follow up with a book review of Farm City by Novella Carpenter, who documents her urban farming experience in Oakland's neighborhood, Ghost Town.

Battleground Earth on Planet Green with Ludacris
A rapper and a rocker campaigning and competing for the environment sounds strange, doesn't it? Well, it's a reality!
Ludacris and Tommy Lee participated across the U.S. on a road tour full of green competitions and challenges.
If you missed Battleground Earth's season please check your local listing on Planet Green.
