R.U.S.T. ( Radical Urban Sustainability Training)
Was reminded of this when digging through old jottings…

and also: the beehive collective
quoted from the above website:
Beth Ferguson and Juan Martinez have been part of the ecological art movement on many fronts. They started working together by organizing 20 person bicycle circus tours. They co-founded Bikes Across Borders, an Austin-based organization that has sent over 600 bikes to community groups on the US/Mexico border, in Chiapas, Mexico, and Cuba. Juan has produced illustrations for the last six years with the Beehive Collective (www.beehivecollective.org) Beth has been working with the Green Map System, which promotes ecological and cultural resources, as a graphic designer and special projects coordinator. She earned a BA in Ecological Design and Community Development from Hampshire College
The work of the beehive collective, which I saw at couple of different demonstrations in Halifax, reminds me of the work of Jose Guadalupe Posada about whom I recently received a book. Posada was a Mexican graphic artist aroudn the turn of the 20th century, and an inspiration for the famous Mexican muralists, including Diego Rivera, who would follow soon after…
Examples.
