I am a Firm Believer in Nuclear Power!!!!!
I am firm believer in nuclear power. It has proven to be a reliable source of energy in the past and will continue to be reliable in the future.
However, It needs to have good distribution over most of the populated areas and easily available to anyone. It should be a proven design with no maintenance required and last a very long time without any upgrades or modifications. There should be no waste to deal with and it should be inaccessible to terrorists for their use.
Such a power plant alrea… Continue

Building a Culture of Sustainability
The job before us is for the most part depressing and overwhelming. It seems that there is no end to the struggle to save the earth. The issues are many, from saving wildlife, addressing consumerism, recycling, energy consumption, water usage, air pollution, and the human condition that causes so much of the pollution. It is sometimes difficult to focus on just one issue without looking at all the rest and saying to ourselves, "This is an impossible task!"
Often environmentalists see the proble… Continue

The California Gray Whale Coalition urgently needs the assistance of aMexican group to lobby the Mexican Congress.
We are, unfortunately, unable to get assistance from Yolanda Alanitz. If anyone does have contacts with other relevant Mexican cetacean groups or Mexican members of Congress or the Senate, we would be very very grateful tohear from you.
Cheers, Sue Arnold - California Gray Whale Coalition website here

I'm glad to hear everything is going well for you in California. It was a pleasant surprise to get a message from you in my mailbox. You sound very busy. I am putzing along at work (I work with children with disabilities) One of my coworkers and myself have been teaching the kids the importance of recycling. They catch on much faster then the staff. So many times I have to pick cans out of the trash. BUT not only do my part on recycling I have made over 9 dollars by dropping the cans at the recycle center. My roomate and I have made recycling a way of life at home. Everything gets recycled and it turns out we have one bag of trash for waste management. Here in Weymouth, MA it is not mandatory to recycle. I have lived in other states where it is a town ordinance to recycle paper, glass and plastic. I find it disheartening when trash day comes around and some people will have 5 cans of trash and no use of the recycle bin. Hopefully someday it will change. But you have to start with yourself. And thats what I have done and it has had a "domino effect" on my family and friends, who now recycle religiously.
Well I am probably getting a bit long winded here. I hope to hear from you soon Meredith! Keep me posted on the happenings on your side of the country!
Your GREEN friend,

Oh well, that's it from me - good luck with the solar grills and the farmers market. - It's funny (sad) to live here in the south and the farmers markets are so scarce on fresh fruits and veggies that are interesting and different. Meaning everything they sell, I already have growing in my garden.
OOOHHHH, how I miss the west coast.
Peace out

thx for inviting me to become friends with you. here i am :-)
cool solar cooking box - where can i get it?
But the challenge is steep - I am looking for a home that is as eco-friendly as possible in another state (of course).
Since my asthma is getting worst and my awarness of product manufacturing/tampering is growing, I have to be real careful. IE- paints, carpets, what I use on my dog, and so on. But this is a challenge I am looking forward to - mainly because I get to enlighten more people to the health hazards that are in the clothes that we buy, the foods that I have to be weary of eating -I had to pretty much become a microbiotic/vegetarian cause alot of the foods with pesticides/hormones make my asthma act up and off to the hospital I go.
It is sad how the government is slowly -and not completely catching onto the concept of EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.
Anyway, please send me some more info on the grill - I saw it on an HGTV programme and I fell in love with it.
Keep up the good work and the awareness you provide - cause you got a cheerleader in the (temporary) south.
