Starting the year off deliciously...
First, a few statistics:
-Washington produces more apples than any other state.
-Washington produces 60% of all pears consumed in the US.

Despite this abundance, each and every year our local food bank has trouble providing fresh fruit to its customers.

way to get featured in the olympian! love the acronym (WOAH!). say, isn't that something you could mention in your wild gift network blog (hint, hint)?
Thanks for the suggestions with Auroville. I'm happy to hear that you find the reforestation efforts of early Aurovillians inspiring. I think the forests here are a thing of beauty, especially given the lack of what was here before. I'm a bit in touch with some new projects of the Village Action group, especially Thamarai, a new center in Edyanchavadi. We'll be including bits of both in the course. It's good to look at it from your perspective as well. I love sharing ideas and perspectives so please keep them coming. And maybe we'll see you down here some day soon?!
hey, i noticed your smokey house center t-shirt in one of the photos you sent jenna. i might be redesigning their website soon. small world! what did you do there? i'm assuming it's the same one, in vermont...
also, can you please join the "leaders" group (by clicking the Groups tab at the top of the page)?
thanks!
i look forward to meeting you in idaho and exchanging some toughts on urban environmental outreach possibilities. till then, take care, joshua
