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…

The weekend AG and I were in New York pitching long lead books, we met with Meaghan from Treehugger.com. I’ll admit, I’d never heard of them before, and the name put me off quite a bit. Treehugger? C’mon, I’m supposed to take this  seriously?

Well, neither do they. Or rather, not in the stereotypical eco-neurotic way most hippies come across as. Yes, I’m using shorthand, get over it.

TH is more about real people, living real lives, of all time conscience, part time ability/desire to worry. Anyway, like their style.

So when she called wanting to do a radio interview, I was stoked. And here it is.
