Environmental Activism and Atomic Garden
In April 2007, the Armstrong family volunteered with the Habitat for Humanity development project, working in New Orleans for three days.
Adrienne Armstrong undertakes work with the Natural Resources Defense Council. She composed a video to help raise awareness of the everyday things people can do to protect the natural environment. The Green Day + NRDC website also gives visitors an opportunity to become involved in environmental causes and campaigns.
In November 2007, she teamed up with Jamie Kidson to open Atomic Garden, located at 5453 College Avenue in Oakland, California, an eco-friendly clothing and home goods store with a strong community orientation. A blog post on "More Ways to Waste Time" also gives information about the project.
In a recent podcast with Vickie Howell, Adrienne discussed Atomic Garden, as well as her other ongoing environmental work.

Famous quotes containing the words atomic and/or garden:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
