"No one's going to win in this sustainability race within fashion, whether your the tortoise or the hare, because we can't agree on what the starting line is in the first place."

"I really love working with brands that are either at the cutting-edge, or are making that first step towards making change within their brand lines."

This week on Let's Eat In Cathy focused on urban, container and guerilla gardening. Robert Hyland (insideurbangreen.org) and Frieda Lynn, veteran-self proclaimed "urban greenscapers", discussed their work with everything from aesthetic landscaping to edible produce. Their style of spreading all things green combines rooftop and windowsill gardening techinques with an urban "guerilla" landscaping sensibility. A major topic was the utilization of "SIPS" or structural insulated panels, a literal building block and ultra-versatile tool of the urban greenscaper. Tune in to hear these green-thumbed revolutionaries talk about simultaneously making the city beautiful and growing food, all with a DIY mentality. This episode was sponsored Acme Smoked Fish.

"Pay a little bit more attention to your body, and pay a little more attention to the season. Each season will deliver you a different vegetable and a different experience."

"People, as foragers... we foraged on the seashores before we foraged in the forests!"
