Here's an idea that I can embrace wholeheartedly: Guerrilla Gardening. Started in London by some folks who were tired of urban blight, so they stealth-planted in vacant lots; it has since grown into a movement, and even a book. I especially like the stories from around the world of people taking urban beautification into their own hands. You can even find a community near you.
I admit that I have surreptitiously planted seeds (mostly sweet peas) around my area, but I like the idea of a bunch of folks going out in the middle of the night, and taking over a neglected plot of public land. It's subversive, and it's beautiful!
