(Keep in mind that this new Organic labeling law makes it a crime punishable by jail for small organic farmers who can't or won't fill out the mandatory 600 pages questionnaire, twice a year, and hire a lawyer to help them, to use the word organic anymore to describe their organic fruits and vegetables. This new law has co-opted and perverted the word organic and suddenly made it the sole property of agro-business. Only farmers who sell less than $500's worth of produce a growing season are exempt from this ridiculous and unfair to roadside farm stands new law.)

There is no truly interesting video & DVD rental outlet in Fairfield County that Greenburbs knows about, other than public library collections. If you're desperate for great alternative films, you can always take a quick drive to Hamden. Best Video is only 35 minutes away from Westport, right off exit 60 of the Merritt Parkway. They had a second store in Westport years ago but it only stayed in business a couple of months.

It's the best video store in New England!

(Check your local listings for Barnes & Noble and Borders locations. Only Tower Books in Stamford carries a wide selection of alternative zines. Support independent CD & bookstores anywhere and anytime you can. None of these chain bookstores recycle their magazine returns!

National Directory of Green Fashion & Design Resources

Architects

This section seriously needs updating. Information on this topic is not easy to come by because all architects want their clients to think of them as green when in fact few actually deserve the title. This list was compiled in part thanks to a list provided by the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment. Please keep in mind that not all AIA COTE members are in fact practicing green architects, they just sent in their dues! So please inquire directly with them first before hiring anyone. Ask them if they are LEED certified. That's a good start. Greenburbs will in time provide a fully flushed out listing, but this takes time and resources.
