Greedaid -- Change for Change

Here is a great idea on how to bring the green back into our inner-city neighborhoods. This company makes "Seedbombs" that are dispensed by candy machines. This is a way to use your change to make a real difference. This mixture of clay, compost, and seeds will take that vacant lot and bring it back to the green side of the spectrum. By anonymously throwing this green explosion one can make what was gray and empty green again. This is as much about awareness as it is plants. If some of these derelict urban site's become randomly green it makes people think. Maybe we could be using this space better. If this does not help support public gardens and green space, what does? They will send you a "SeedBoumb" Vending Machine anywhere. The best part is that they are all ready out there. From the street and all you have to do is put in your change and make a change in what surrounds you.
