Barrio Sustainability
These days it’s called an urban green model, but the grassroots Barrio Sustainability Project is going back to basics, building community by connecting to the land. They have a piece of ground in a South Side barrio that’s becoming a community farm. Almost every weekend, neighbors and volunteers of all ages work together, educate themselves, and bring back to others everything they learn. This summer the Barrio Sustainability Project is partnering with PRO Neighborhoods, inviting volunteers from any barrio to learn something about what we can do when we work together.
