GROEN inspiratie   Tim Rinne Growing food, growing community -- the example of the Hawley Hamlet   Het begint als één van de vele dominee toespraken op zondagochtend. Maar wacht af, halverwege de film komt Tim uit Nebraska helemaal los en laat hij zien waartoe hij instaat is. Dus even geduld, de moeite waard om het geheel te bekijken.   http://tedxinnovations.ted.com/2015/06/25/spotlight- tedx-talk-the-new-neighborhood-trend-lawns-made-of-food/     https://youtu.be/J0Gqp9tYpF8     Gepubliceerd op 1 dec. 2014   This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Since 2010, Tim and his wife have gone from a measly little tomato patch to six tenths of an acre (the equivalent of roughly 65 yards of a football field). They have planted over 50 fruit and nut trees and two dozen berry beds, set up two chicken coops and two beehives, and now have 20 neighbors actively participating in what they call their hamlet.   They are growing food in the "Hawley Hamlet." But equally important, they're growing community. And that's a good thing. Because given the risks climate change and extreme weather are posing to our environment, we're going to need all the food and community the city can produce.   Tim is a native son of Nebraska, born in Beatrice, raised in Gering in the Panhandle and for the past 37 years, he has lived in Lincoln. An English Major and UNL alum, Tim has spent most of his adult life involved in Nebraska politics, doing everything from serving as a VISTA volunteer to running local campaigns to my present post as State Coordinator for Nebraskans for Peace (a position he has held for over 20 years).   About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.      homepage   omhoog
