Natural News Network is another local blog dedicated to the greening of Rhode Island, "to help promote the growth of a green economy in the state." Its June news feature, Living Green in the City, by Mary Grady, highlights how the watershed, energy use, urban gardening, and land use policies can improve the quality of life for those of us living in this heavily developed metropolitan area of Providence. Natural News Network's purpose complements the Providential Gardener, which focuses on what people are doing with plants and trees around Rhode Island. The world is systemic, and what we do in one area ultimately affects everything else. Let's do more than hope that "Rhode Island in 2025 will be green and blue," a quote from the Statewide Planning Program's land-use plan. Let's do what it takes to make it happen! I'm adding Natural News Network to the Providential Gardener's Blogroll today.
