Cultural Writing. Architecture and the environment. This third book in the uTOpia series asked imaginative Torontonians to think both big and small about how they might make their city more environmentally wise and responsible. Torontonians responded with immodest proposals and how-to tips, thoughtful considerations and flights of fancy that just might work. They wrote essays long and short, taking stock of how far Toronto has come in the struggle to green itself and providing suggestions for simple actions with big effects. Their ideas - sometimes playful, sometimes pie-in-the-sky - offer brazen new perspectives on transportation, garbage, trees, energy, water, animals and green space and arrive at imaginative and ingenious solutions to the problems plaguing all modern cities. GreenTOpia features a resources section, including profiles of key eco-friendly groups in the GTA, a directory of green organizations, as well as a how-to guide and a fun-facts section.
