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:
“When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!
And since love ne’er will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
