A great speaker for earth day would be Wayne Peterson of the NRCS.  He is
an urban conservationist who advocates planting native species in order to
produce no run-off urban areas.
He lives in Iowa City.  If you are interested I will ask him if I can pass
his email on to you.  He can talk also about roof-top gardens.  Extra
insulation, extra oxygen production, less runoff.
