yahoo is green...

I mean, they made the "yahoo" symbol green with little recycling signs...but it still uses a lot of energy

(For a more energy-friendly search engine than yahoo or google, try "blackle"--using screens with darker backgrounds actually takes less energy...part of why our blog is a dark color!

For tomorrow morning: Eileen, please call me so we can meet up and get the fliers from you.

Ellen, I can meet you to both post signs and be on the blackout squad at 9:30 (should we start a little before?)
Joel, let's meet outside Silver at 9:10, does that sound ok?
Anyone else free in the morning?

Also, if for any reason we can't connect with you Crissy for t-shirts, I was planning to wear black tomorrow.
Both for BLACKOUT and to acknowledge that Earth Day is not a particularly optimistic day this year...or any of the recent years.
Maybe that's too pessimistic, but one thing that people have brought up about BLACKOUT is it's brevity. Just one day and then everyone feels like they've done something.

Not trying to kill the buzz or minimize the work we've been doing, just trying to be self-reflective.

Mostly, thanks to Judy and Joel for taking the interviews, (and to Judy for getting in touch with me!)
Joel, I'm so glad that your interview worked out; i was literally sitting in class two seconds before it began and the lady called and wanted to talk to me. I apologized and gave her your number, hoping for the best. Sounds like it worked out.

Happy Earth Day!
