Just a GPG reminder for the day

A while ago a friend of mine Nelson Denman a true earth lover coined the term Planet CPR –  Conservation, Preservation and Restoration.   When I read about this superfund site

Gowanus Canal to Become “Sponge Park” for Storm Water Runoff

A  truly sensible solution and a better alternative than million of gallons of storm water draining into our oceans with all the muck form the city streets.   I got so excited and remembered Nelson’s Planet CPR.  Thanks Nels!

Ok I hate to stoop to blogging about farts but I thought this was really interesting.  My mom sent me an article about a 6th grader who won a rotary speech contest based on her research about the gas we all know and love.  Turns out I learned some stuff.

Like: Farts are made up of the following: Nitrogen, the main ingredient making up
59 percent; next behind is hydrogen at 21 percent; 9 percent carbon dioxide;
7 percent methane, 3 percent oxygen and 1 percent other stuff.  Here are the top 10 farter’s:

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for checking out the new website and my very first blog entry!  Wanna thank Al for putting together an awesome site and getting me up too high tech speed.  Finally GPG can be viewed on the iphone!  Ya!

So the most exciting thing happening for GPG will be on the stage at TEDxHonololu on 11.1.11.   I have 8 minutes to talk about the last 11 years being GPG- wish me luck and tune in!  (Think I will be on in the last quarter of the day around 3-4pm HST- that stands for Hawaiian-Aleutian Standard Time)  The event will be live streamed all day and there will be some great speakers.  Ever heard Jake Shimabukuro tear it up on the Uke?

Mostly I am honored to have a chance (even a short one) to share why I have chosen or rather why I have been chosen to be The Green Power Girl.  If you dont know GPG’s back story then watch the cartoon “No Cape Required”.

more later…
Love this schools motto:
