food...food...and food... how do we know it's actually good?
When I go to the grocery store, how do I know that the food I'm buying is hormone and/or pesticide and/or pesticide free? Even if it says it's organic...is it really? My idea is to 1. put more of a REAL control on the food we're selling to the general public and 2. why not start growing real organic food...from real soil ourselves...urban agriculture?

street end community gardens
The short streets on the end of a typical block are 66 feet wide just like the streets along the front of most residential properties.
What if we made them 33 feet wide which is wide enough for a laneway a sidewalk and some trees. The remaining 33 feet could be used for community gardens, pocket parks or leased for a standard residential lot. The lot would provide additional housing without changing the character of a neighbourhood.2 votesVarious options for creating new green spaces are being considered. Converting street ends into mini-parks is an idea considered in the Draft Greenest City Action Plan.
