I'm Greener than a Frog!

... According to my 8 year old son. This shocked me when he said this to a stranger the other day. First of all I didn't think he really understood what it meant to be "green" and I didn't realize he knew there was anything different than the way our home operates day-to-day. But it was a beautiful realization. I forget about all of the things we do "differently" than much of America because of our focus on low consumption, low waste. Not to mention the hundreds of other small things we do to m… Continue

shoot me an e-mail with your contact info on it so I can talk to you about some ideas and give you some background on what we are doing.

The link to your blog is dead....can you check that...I would like to check out your blog.

You know, the ones who aren't really INTO green fully, but might be interested. We could totally use it to gauge interest then drive them here to really engage them on a deeper level. When I started the sub group it was like the third group and we had maybe 100 or so members.
Now that it has exploded, I think there is really a great chance to keep the green thing visible to the "average" citizen and business person then make this the truly serious site. What do you think?

I am totally open. I just want Indiana to move forward and not be the 49th.
Ideas?

I WANT TO WORK WITH THEM ALL. I was a member of your greener indiana group before I ever dreamed of creating this site.

The smaller indiana site was an inspiration for this site. I worried that the focus of the smaller indiana site was too broad. I wanted to create a more focused site on what is an important topic to me.

I built the agreenerindiana.com site to see how we could manage the inter relationships amongst groups and to see if the site could foster relationships that result in real positive change.
