Had not thought about writing an apartment dwelling article. Here are some suggestions in the meantime. Looking under INDEX, the article on container gardening might be helpful if you have a balcony and want to garden a little. Related to permaculture, there maybe an alley or some slopes off your apartment parking lot. Berms and swales would cut down the water runoff. You would have to borrow a hoe. Then a packet of local flower seeds or a few shrubs on the downside of the berm could be planted. This is a start to answer your question.

I admire the way the writers provide simple definitions for words that city-dwellers may not know. I’m benefiting from how you include such a variety of topics. You inspire me. In due time, I’d love to see articles about sustainability actions that apartment-building residents might take, in addition to shopping locally. We non-property owners are legion. We’re generally not wealthy. Often we’re temporary. We don’t see ourselves as having much political clout, and often we do not even know who our representatives are. Yet many of us want to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Hmm. Turn off water and electricity. Recycle plastics. Eat plant-based. What else?
