Last week, I  invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden 
project coordinated  by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise 
Intentional Residential  Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor.  

I am  delighted to announce  that, with your help, this project won the 
Ford Community Green Grant today at  the Chicago Green Festival, A Project of 
Green America and Global Exchange.  There are similar Festivals happening in 
Los Angeles (Oct 19-20), San  Francisco (Nov 9-10), Washington, DC (Sept 
21-22), and New York (April 19-21).  The prize was for $5,000. If my attachment

Joseph is the tall one in the middle  surrounded by supporters. 

On a related note, we also  received notice last week that the GreenRise 
Building "solar project" has been  awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois 
Clean Energy Community Foundation  to install renewable energy panels on our 
rooftop. The building at 4750  Sheridan is becoming a VERY high profile 
embodiment of "green culture" to  complement our neighborhood sustainability 
work across the 77 community areas  of Chicago.
