Hello, I am requesting two passes for myself and my partner please so we can continue our learning journey on how to better incorporate sustainable practices into city life. We have lived in rural areas and find it more difficult to ‘be the change’ here with our heightened busy lives, and meeting people and joining up with community would be helpful also.
thank you greenermiami!
Great Post!! I am going to mention this on my site, foodofmiami.com!
