I couldn't do it this weekend. I'm building a bike-power generator with my Dad!

I could be there (where?) by around 3pm. I just called Holmquist Farms so see if they'd be willing to donate some hazelnuts to the Perennial Project. They don't have any, but he said to check with nurseries (I'm thinking Cloud Mt., possibly Cascade Cuts?), and he also said there's lots of native ones along the roads out in the county that we might be able to take suckers off of. I know it's a shrub, not a tree, but I would like to see more hazelnuts grown in Whatcom Co.

Tuesday, August 3rd works for me as long as it is 2:30 pm or later. Laura, I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas on reducing Carbon emissions and a possible plan on getting Whatcom County within the 350 ppm.

Hey, I have a question for you guys. To my mind, it is difficult to set goals and note successes with carbon reduction without some numbers-that's why the 350ppm concept is useful to me. For my personal life, I understand how to get the numbers, and I'm working on it. My question is, how do we get the numbers for Whatcom County? Do we have a useful estimate of annual CO2 emissions for the county? If we reduced emission by 5 or 10% this year, would we even be able to tell? I want milestones for this long haul.

This is great! So many wonderful food security projects blossoming! This looks like a great group to get volunteers involved...we are blessed that there is almost too much going on to keep track of!
If any of you would like to be involved in looking at the bigger picture about food security, and looking at where there may be gaps in our county- in any area or at any level- then starting to see how we can fill those gaps. AND, looking at longer term, where we want to be in terms of food production in 10 years and what will it take to get there- join the Food Security Workgroup.
If you want to just get out there and get to work- you are in the right place! I hope to see you 'in the field'...

350.org Funds For 10/10/10 Climate Action Projects. $1000 grants
350.org is giving out microgrants to local climate action projects in North America. Does anyone have a project here in Whatcom County that might be appropriate?
I posted Tristan's video in the video section of the website. Tristan and Stephanie, was there a time that worked for both of you to meet? I could try to change my schedule to join.

Tristan, What a great video you posted from last years event. Also a great motivator. I'm on vacation next week so maybe the following Wednesday?
