We’d like to thank everyone for all of the great submissions and congratulate our contributors who have their articles featured below!

Kristen McCarthy presents Community Gardens: Transform Urban Spaces posted at this-sustainable-life.com. Kristen mentions, “Traditionally, community gardens emerge in the most unlikely spaces: from dispossessed parking lots and abandoned railway lines, to hubcap strewn parks and needle plagued back alleys, to the sagging rooftops that overlook laundry lines stretched out across the cityscape in multifarious patterns. In these areas rejected and wasted from human-made decay, urban gardens are birthed.”
MBB presents Streamline Your Finances and Make Your Life Easier By Not Hoarding posted at Money Blue Book Finance Blog. MBB gives a very comprehensive article on how avoiding excessive hoarding can streamline our lives and make us more efficient including ways to reduce our carbon footprint in the process.
Lauren Rose presents The Cultivation of Vegetables posted at Own Home Style .com. According to Lauren, “Nowadays due to the introduction of new hybrid varieties in vegetables, which are susceptible to pest and diseases, there is demand for more plant protection, usually with toxic chemicals.”
