In Four Fish Paul Greenberg explores our relationship with the oceans, honing in on four varieties of fish staples – salmon, bass, cod, and tuna. Greenberg travels from wild salmon runs in Alaska to the massive fish farms in Vietnam, from the Long Island Sound to the fjords of Norway, to uncover the myths, misconceptions, and cultural precedents that persist about fish. He explains why these well-known types are not our healthiest, most cost-effective or environmentally sound choices and leads us to better alternatives.

Presented in partnership by Baltimore Green Works and the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
Sponsored by Lorenz Inc. and the Living Classrooms Foundation.

• Local Composting Program:

Hamilton Crop Circle works with area restaurants to collect compostable materials at no charge, reducing waste, while creating natural fertilizer.

• Roof Top Gardening:

HCC is developing a system of rooftop gardening projects in the industrial and mercantile sectors throughout Baltimore City to produce locally grown food.

• Feeding the hungry :

Recognizing the need to provide fresh food to Baltimore’s needy HCC has forged a partnership between Our Daily Bread and the Baltimore Farmers Market to donate fresh foods weekly.

• Educational Growth:

By developing micro farms at area schools, HCC is educating young people about where food comes from, and how to grow it. The gardens are ideally watered by the school’s rooftop cistern. The vegetables find their way to the cafeteria and the science room.
