Sounds interesting, but I have a schedule conflict. Do you know if there's going to be any sort of video recording/webcast/slideshow for download/etc?

I went - there were two people taping, I think from the civic council. But I don't think it would really hold up as a podcast.
Most of the specific info that would apply locally was in the Q&A.

The civic council has written up a very useful detailed checklist with *greening* suggestions that should be on their website (although I couldn't find it)

and I learned that the excellent org Sustainable South Bronx has an off-shoot company that installs and maintains green roofs. http://www.ssbx.org/greenroofs.html
