Up next in today’s feature, we learn more about restoring social sustainability from eco architect and village builder Mark Lakeman of Planet Repair, inspired by his expeditions into indigenous communities to reconnect isolated Americans by implementing neighborhood placemaking projects. That’s coming up in Part Four of his conversation with WFHB Environmental Correspondent Zyro Roze.
Growing up in Bloomington Annalise Haldeman always thought of Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard as a food pantry, but these days “The Hub” is so much more.
