From around the ecosphere, here’s our latest green stimulus package for your eyes, ears and mind.

• Anyone remember, Green Acres?  New Cable Show Alert – Out of the city and into the farmland – can these two urbanites adjust to rural life?  Meet farmers Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge, The Fabulous Beekman Boys (as in Beekman, NY)…Premieres Wed., 6/16 (my b-day) @ planetGreen.discovery.com

• Not only is BP destroying life in the Gulf and doing a pathetic job of cleaning up their mess – they’re preventing press coverage of the cleanup — from the spill itself, to saving wildlife. Anderson Cooper gets our award for relentlessly providing the best coverage anywhere. more @ rawstory.com

• For those who love interacting with Uncle Sam, the Coast Guard will assess any high tech ideas related to aiding the Deepwater Horizon disaster, via Federal Business Opportunities @ fbo.org

• Saturday, June 19 is National Solar Day – see what’s going on as we try to wean ourselves off of fossil fuel dependence and toward safer, cleaner solutions. learn more @ solarday.com

• You’re probably familiar with Doctors without Borders, but have you heard of Restaurants without Walls?   Five-course meals are prepared by top local chefs where the ingredients, all provided locally – are the main attraction.  This literal table-to-farm artistic installation makes its way around from venue to venue in a red vintage bus, (we hope someday, fueled via biodiesel). Visit outstandinginthefield.com for schedule of events and details.
