We thank our display advertisers every chance we get and hope that our readers thank them and support them as well. When we started GreenList Louisville we decided to make the directory as complete as possible by keeping basic listings free. Display advertising pays for the publication and website.

We’d like to ask members of the community to help us continue to provide this valuable resource. We’ve added a DONATE feature to our website. It links to PayPal and enables you to easily donate any amount, and any amount will help us continue to bring you GreenList Louisville, your guide to local sustainable living.

Thanks for supporting GreenList Louisville.

“PosSOUPbility,” a new local meal-based micro-grant producing initiative, is seeking applicants for its first community event. PosSOUPbility seeks to become a regularly occurring community meal that supports new and emerging creative projects that celebrate and/or benefit people, places and things in the Louisville area. Each community member who attends poSOUPbility purchases a $10 soup ticket and receives a ballot and a delicious soup-based meal. Three local innovators present project proposals during the meal, and attendees vote on the idea that they would most like to make a reality.

The innovator with the most votes receives a micro-grant, generated from meal funds to help execute their project, the outcome of of the project is presented at a future posSOUPbility meal. The first posSOUPbility event will take place at 6:00 p.m., Sunday, January 29th, 2012 at The Water Tower (3005 River Road, Louisville, KY 40207), thanks to the generosity of the Louisville Visual Art Association.

RSVP’s (recommended) to attend the meal will be accepted beginning January 1, 2012 and can be made by emailing posSOUPbility at the address listed below. Local innovators who would like to present project proposals at the January 29th event must submit a simple application form by January 15, 2012. The application, as well as additional information about posSOUPbility, is available at www.posSOUPbility. blogspot.com.

Applicants are encouraged to submit any questions to posSOUPbility@gmail.com. PosSOUPbility is

also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/posSOUPbility. While posSOUPbility is new to Louisville, the initiative is part of the larger Sunday Soup Network. For more information about the Sunday Soup Network visit www.sundaysoup.org. Contact: Nick Covault, 502.641.6674, posSOUPbility@gmail.com

When Government Will Not Act, You Must....

Jackie Greene

Jackie Green, husband, father, bicycle shop owner, and car-free since 1999, was an independent candidate for Louisville mayor in 2010. His focus as a candidate was on preparing Louisville for the carbon-constrained world of the future. By the example of his own personal lifestyle and by his periodic Emails, "The Greening of Louisville," Jackie continues to challenge us to simplify and "power down" our lives. Be ready to be engaged in a lively discussion of 'When Government Will Not Act, You Must...'

Limbwalker Tree Service

Limbwalker was begun in 2004 by Cory Petry and Chris O'Bryan. Their primary focus in the beginning was pruning. They have recently expanded the types of services they provide, focusing on improving soil health. They use soil decompaction, compost teas, and an organic-based lawn program to improve the health of the soils in which trees live.

15Thousand Farmers helps create, empower, and inspire 15thousand new, sustainable, backyard/front yard farmers in Louisville, KY to feed their families and themselves! How? By using simple and easy instructions, checklists, materials and ongoing support provided through local growers and resources that will provide everything needed to start growing food in our yards, on decks or in community gardens.

What will 15Thousand sustainable food growers mean to us here in Louisville?

• We’ll learn we can plant a seed and feed ourselves!

• And as we grow our own food, we can grow the community in our neighborhoods. We can meet our neighbors around a common interest – sharing growing secrets, trading special vegetables or herbs and seeds!

• We take back our power of choice! As we grow our own food, we begin to realize we have a choice to take charge of things we hold dear – abundant, inexpensive, delicious, nutritious sustainable food, sharing it with friends, saving money we usually spend at the grocery, reconnect with nature just outside our back door, making new friends in our neighborhood with a common interest, helping transform this community and the world.

• As we grow our food locally, we reduce our dependence on foreign oil as we buy less stuff that has been shipped in by truck, train or plane from distant states or countries.

• Sustainable growing sequesters carbon faster than any other current technology. So as we plant and grow our food, we powerfully affect climate change.

• Growing our own food in the neighborhood is fun and anyone can do it, from age three to 103!!!
