SuperForester Severine just told us about an amazing website: AGoToB.com.
This quote from their site explains everything:
“London 1909: average speed of horse and cart = 7mph
London 1999: average speed of motorists = 6mph”
Cars in the city are slow, smelly, and loud. AGoToB connects you with ways to get around quickly, efficiently, and improve your environment at the same time. No gasoline involved.
Take your pick! You want people-powered? All electric? A mix of both?
Here’s the main menu, you just click on an icon.
AGoToB.com is UK-based it seems. We need something like this in the USA!
Is anyone in the US doing this?
Anyway, a great site.
In keeping with today’s topic of young farmers, we proudly present the trailer to the upcoming documentary “The Greenhorns”
The Greenhorns chronicles the trials and successes of young farmers all over the US.
The film’s director Severine Von Tscharner Fleming, has this to say about the film:
“We are making a film about young farmers, their struggle and their valor.
The redemptive force that they have, for our society.
For our culture.
For our agriculture.
For our countryside.
For our nation…”
Beautiful, inspiring, hopeful.
These are great times we are living in, my friends. Seems that starting a farm is the new starting a band.
Here is their website where you can watch the trailer much larger, learn more about the film crew, donate to help them get the word of the film out, and nominate local farmers to be featured in the doc: theGreenhorns.net
