Rebuilding New Orleans

As the immediate crises in New Orleans slowly resolve themselves over the next weeks and months, talk will inevitably turn to rebuilding. Over at Worldchanging, Alan AtKisson offers the first version of what he promises will be a developing, evolving piece of work about how to rebuild New Orleans in a bright green way. In a very grim time it's a nice ray of passion and optimism. Highly recommended.
