Meredith, I read your comments on the book you want to create with the kids. It sounds wonderful! You mentioned Amazon and I wanted to let you know that Authorhouse is the self publishng arm of Amazon. Books are quite inexpensive to produce yourself and the book is automatically sold on Amazon. Have you considered allowing students to do a journal book so they can incorporate multi-media as well as just writing? As you know, not all students express themselves in the same way.
It sounds like you are doing great work. Keep it up

Hey Meredith,

after the EarthKeepers Contest i would like to join forces, if you want to. next thing to cigarette butt litter, is my passion for solar cooking and vaious energy methods, oh yeah lasers and hydrogen....Wish you the best of luck and want you to win too

I am currently in a contest hosted by Timberland with there EarthKeepers site, to be a Change Agent, to help finance a great environmental cause...anyone that is environmentally conscious, please check out my site:

www.changents.com/ResponsibleSmokersAct

then register and "back" my "cause". If i get enough attention i might be able to make this life long dream of mine, come true. I was born on Earth Day of '78 and from about 13 years i have tried to gain interest in someone else to help for this non profit.

My organization hopes to educate on the environmental impact of cigarette litter. But what makes this idea unique, is that i want to collect cigarettes to make cigarette collection facilities out of them. which in turn print educational material on them....in a way a self-sustaining perpetual infrastructure.

Anyone that smokes or just hates cigarette litter or environmental hearted please join me and help make Responsible Smokers Act a reality

I am asking for obvious partners of sponsors, lawyers, accountants,web designers, graphic artist, photographers, environmental and civil servants, please if you think you can offer anything that would solve the problem of cancerous materials being littered by the trillions into everyday surroundings.
I will give anyone a chance to do there part for the Earth

If you have seen the movie Erin Brocovich. the environmental moral of that story is... Sometimes small doses, administered over a long time, makes our bodies absorb the same chemicals as if you where to smoke the original cigarette itself.

* Cigarette pollution cost millions to our public utilities in each state.

* Animals can very easily dies from the ingestion of small amounts of Butts.

* Cigarettes are made from cellulose Acetate, which is a host for the Bioaccumulotoxins, which delivers those thousand of cancerous chemicals to everywhere humans exists, our environment!

This seems to be the decade of GREEN living, i hope this gives me my chance to form a group to make a great impact on the world!!

please re-post this to any Green person or smoker

Hi Meredith, forwarding a message to you here. Hoping you can hook up some contacts in Mexico to support the CA Gray Whale Coalition.
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

Thanks, Patty - CSI

Hi Meredith!
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,
Cher

Hello, thanks for dropping me a line. Still, basically on hold down here. While I wait for news on a healthcare issue - I am doing research on making my new home - when I get one - environmentally safe for me. With my asthma going bad from time to time, I need to find out about earth-friendly products that don't give high/toxic fumes as well as room purifieres, etc. I already got the paint and the replacement eco carpets and flooring taken care of - now just researching places I want to live and will better for me to get what I need - like furniture.
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
Valyncia

Cooool ...solar cooking

During sweltering hot summers I used to dread cooking!
With temperatures always in the 90s or above and humidity that made me look like I'm was competing in a wet t-shirt contest, spending an hour or two in the kitchen was a form of torture! And when hot flashes kicked in it was literally as hot as hell. Then when the kitchen was about 120 degrees, I would turn on the air conditioner to cool things down. Not exactly the kind of thing an environmentalist should be doing! (or anyone else for that… Continue

Need some feed back.....

I have a list of green jobs in high demand in my area on my blog. I know the list is incomplete but I am having trouble coming up with other jobs to include on this list. I would love it if you could either leave comments on my blog or here, either one. I would also greatly appreciate a critique of the blog in general. I feel like when I post here on Earth Day that I am preaching to the choir and the people who really need to get the information , people who ar… Continue
