Green Year

right again, as usual. if he had any lower a center of gravity, he’d be a potted plant.

So, back to it. Today we picked up another exhibitor, working on a display about seeding the ocean to generate plankton growth, which will absorb carbon. we’ll put em with the ship kite people, good combo.

Majana, Treehugger and Current TV will be promoting a contest to see who can come up with the best open source solution to the global environmental crisis. Winner gets to come to the event, show off their stuff, have it featured on Current’s coverage. Two media outlets, working together to get the word out on a completely unbranded, open source, best-in-class environmental solution. Talk about inverting the paradigm; it’s exactly the sort of thing we’d hoped this year would do.

And so it is.

On another note, amazing how the background noise falls off when you stop leaning out the window and listening to it, and instead focus on the task at hand. Actions speak louder than words, and are much more lasting. That Ted, right again…

I’m taking one: I’m just too damn tickled about the story on the fracking front page of today’s SF Chronicle not to post it here, too.

I know, fire pits ain’t good for nuthin’ cept creating carbon, and we should probably do some offsets or something, but that comes later.

Today, we celebrate that in San Fran Freak Show you can get the federal government to help pay burners to create public fire art, and the fact that I’ll be helping, in my own small way, to leave a lasting mark on this city I love.
