Huffington Post gets a green blog

      My friend and colleague Mark Hostetler has started a blog on green development for the Huffington post. Focused on urban environments, where most of us in the world now live, it is chatty, interesting and very informative.

      One of Mark's recent blogs is based on his book "That gunk on your car: a unique guide to the insects of North America" and is not only hilarious but very educational - did you know there is a real scientific reason why insects are fatally attracted to cars?

      He also reveals how America's suburban lawns can be a major threat to ecosystems - even those far away from urban centres and, as I am a major fan of evaluating the effectiveness of plans and programs, I was delighted to see his recent series on evaluating green communities.

You can read Mark's blogs here. And I think I'll follow them....
