I like the idea of sowing flowers along the freeway. Rather than mowing weeds all summer, DOT could let the flowers go wild. But, does it really require an act of the legislature to get something like this done? Couldn't 20-30 interested people spend a few weekends working in pairs, strolling along the edges picking up trash and throwing seeds in the air? How much seed do we need? Last summer, Adbusters mag shipped with a packet of wildflower seeds inserted. People were urged to find a patch of wasted earth and just drop the seeds on the ground. Maybe a bunch of 'Johnny Appleseeds' is all we need.
