How do we make people aware, to make them care? These issues that are so glaringly clear to us are not to a great many people.
I think that we have a good start the education is out there in the media, schools, and those of us who drop subtle hints to our friends and family. I recall helping my neighbor’s child with some research on recycling for a school report; she in tur…
It would be nice to have a compilation of this sort of info and maybe georeference it into a "Mapquest-y" format
Children are born innately selfish. Our human nature is to LIVE and compete for resources. The larger bird, kitten, puppy, cub etc. is usually the one who lives when resources are short. It is our JOB as parents to help children to understand that o…
I am a parent, rather than a professional educator, but believe we parents must reinforce the ideas being communicated in the classroom. Parents think it is some sort of funny joke that their children are their green police. It is actually a sad jok…

Miss Amanda Jones said… - That would be great - I'm not sure the documentary would be done - but hopefully we will at least have some trailers - and some information - I'm really hoping to focus on getting people to act with this - blow some steam up their politicians *sses so that we can get some regulations and change happening. And as per music - I am always willing to sing - or jump in front of a crowd and get on my soap box :-) I'm working with a new band right now - we'll record soon and I'll send you some stuff - see if it would work for your celebration. Great to meet you - Maybe we can have coffee sometime when I'm in Knox Cheers Much Love JONES

F&R Water and Waste Handling Equipment LLC said… - Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your interest in the waterless urinals. Please be advised that all waterless urinals are not created equal. We have information on our sites as to the technology behind our waterless urinals. If you could introduce me to your facilities manager maybe we can get a free test run on one or two of our units without obligation. I've already made it happen for Taylor and Indiana Wesleyan Universities. All contact information is on my A Greener Idiana site page.

- Great job Daniel! Earth & Environmental Science were my favorite classes in college. Enviro. Science is the one that opened my eyes to Earth. We all need to live in harmony with her or suffer the consequences of having Mother shrug us off! Thank you for teaching our future pioneers of saving our environment. Did you see today came out, the glacier shelf broke off for over 5,100 miles. in Antartica! WOW - "7X the size of Manhatten".

I will send you the editorial/contributing article I am writing about problems in NE Indiana Great Lakes Watershed.
Feel free to check out my outdated website, www.savemaumee.org

Keep forwarding the cause!

- This year I am teaching Integrated Chemistry and Physics (ICP), Physics, and three engineering classes. My specialty is biology yet I do not teach it this year. I also have other endorsements including math.
One son is a senior and the other a sophomore---this makes for a very hectic schedule---at least they both drive now!
