THE ALT 5

In today’s lighter side of RVA, we have stories on:

• A detailed look at “A Delicate Balance” by Harry “The Hat” Kollatz as he takes a deep dive into the “Conservation Versus Living Space Equation” and how recent events and initiatives are driving and changing the conversation and the impact on policy and development.

• Our Quote of the Week is about the long misunderstood and confusing question: what can you actually recycle? We hear from source — the CVWMA.

• The history lesson of the week is one of the worst floods in Richmond you have never heard of — the flood of 1936. It caused havoc all over the East coast, thousands of people came out to shovel dirt and save Shockoe Valley, and Richmonders ran to the stores for bread and milk…

• A new health clinic for the uninsured opening in Southside is good news for a neighborhood and a health system in the wake of slower than promised health solutions and options for those most in need.

• Great news about greens from Goochland as Greenswell Growers teams up with Ukrop’s to begin bringing hydroponic greens to RVA and regions beyond. It looks at the evolution of the company and the science of greenhouse growing that can still deliver delicious nutrition with far less impact on the land.
