"I think it'd be a perfect fit for the GreenFEST event(s) since you plan more than one next year. Why not. We could add a small scale one this year if you can get the word out SOON...What's the criteria and the prize? Let's brainstorm this one."
"It is a mystery because the employees and the "image" they want to portray is really GREEN...whats up with that? Maybe we should ask. I know the assistant manager of the Oak Grove store was at GreenFEST last year and she's a doll. She brought lots…"
"Anne Baker has agreed to take this on along with the Trashy Fashion Show at the Oktoberfest in Concord. We're proposing to pitch this as the Recycled Art and Fashion Show (or something like that). Our meeting with RC went very well - Anne's on top…"
"The art in the videos is great. Thanks, Mark, for presenting this idea, I think it could be really fun. If we're going to go ahead, we'll need volunteers to organize and plan it.

"Here's a map of the Oktoberfest layout at the Plaza. The red S spots are where Kathy says that we can create a sculpture garden. The red G is where we can set up a "green tent" for the summer concerts. Kathy says that this is all a "go" on her end,…"

"Mark, who should I have Patricia Algara speak to? Tracey or Jon?? Do you have a phone number and/or email? Patricia is calling me later today and I want her to connect with whomever she needs to. Robin

"Mark, Patricia Algara is heading up this effort that you're talking about, and Pilar Reber, who owns Sunnyside Organic Seedlings has leased one of the greenhouses--they grew roses there until NAFTA came along! I am attaching the rough draft of their…"
"Question: Take a look at the photo of all of the disposable food boxes are piled up in the new Time magazine article on Haiti. Why isn't throw-away packaging edible by goats? Composting takes too much time and effort. Redevelop disposable boxes to…"
"Question: Granted, landscape lighting does look cool at night, but do we really need the bright spotlights in the front of the new County Public Defender's building in Martinez? They may have a security value but CFLs are relatively cheap. Security…"
Question: Why is it that we (and often the media) generally think of Trader Joe's as somewhat just south of Whole Foods in terms of being a "cool place to shop"? What's it take to get TJ's to stop packaging their product in plastic armor? I don't…
"I have a conflict on Thursday, the 27th. Weds. is best.

"Sure. Next week is fine. Weds. evening is best for me.
FYI - I had a long talk yesterday with Jon Erlandson of the SBDC about the Workforce Dev. Board's budding ideas about an urban farming initiative in West County. I briefed him on the West…"

"I was up in Arcata recently and had a chance to explore their farmers market and 1st annual street art exhibition. Music, food, lots of things. Very cool. Here are photos of some of "recycled" sculptures. The fish on the ground is made of lawnmower…"
