Global Work Party,,,,,,solar coming soon...

Transition Ferndale met today on my roof for some theatre, lunch, fellowship and enthusiasm as we strive to work to bring awareness and action to getting our atmospheric CO2 back down to 350 parts per million. (currently 392 and climbing)

Oh and we are celebrating the coming solar panels.!! Net Metering by years end.

Last year I had my son paint a very large 350.org on my roof and my frequent air traffic has been enjoying it all year. Before this year's end 350.org will be covered by solar panels and net metering. This is happening on the heels of our Transition Ferndale group inviting Dana Brandt from Ecotech Energy Systems LLC to come and give his excellent presentation to our group. We will be on the roof today with signs and enthusiasm to be part of the important work of getting our CO2 in the atmosphere back to levels that give future living things a chance to enjoy life on our beautiful planet Earth.

find your farmer....first CSA pick-up farm tour

Such a pleasure to tour the farm and get the details of where my vegies come from. Walter is using land as well as can be imagined. I appreciate not only the food but the wonderful association with Walter and Toni.
here is the amazing box of food I got....

and here are the most delicious strawberries I remember eating fresh from Cross Line Farm right up the road from F.A. Farm

disclaimer: as I so enjoyed, what I percieved to be farmer speak from Walter, "and this area has gotten out of hand" I will say, as an amateur videographer, there is a few moments in #4 video where "the lens got out of hand" ....audio still good and it never stops me from publishing.

brilliant article Asher.....

this article is a good example of why I just got off my lazy ass and became a monthly donor and why I am a subscriber to their monthly newsletter...than's the Post Carbon Institute.

An Even Bigger Spill Looming?
Posted May 25, 2010 by Asher Miller

While the nation's eyes are turned towards the oil tipped waves and tar balls washing up on the shores of the Gulf Coast, an altogether different energy disaster looms in California—one that might be even more damaging for the environment and our economy in the long run.

For decades now California has led the country in environmental protection, passing legislation that's often set the benchmark for national policy. But this, like all tides, can flow in two directions. A pair of ballot measures—Props 16 & The California Jobs Initiative—could set California back immeasurably and by extension the entire country, at a time when we can least afford it.
