Hey all,

I wrote a short blurb about WeCAN, Google, and networking with the internet. I encourage you to check it out and think about what things need to be functional within Google, and what features will help WeCAN become the best thing ever.

Hi TEAM MN,

Follow-up is already rocking. At least over here (Macalester), the days are going
crazy. A brief recap of what happened since the end of the Institute
(as far as I know) and then logistical details.

REPORT:

This is a report by Timothy DenHerder-Thomas written after a semester
long-internship at the Neighborhood Energy Connection in Fall 2007. It
discusses opportunities for taking energy efficiency to the community
level, and the cost-effectiveness, logistical, and carbon saving gains
that can be made through the process. This is the start of a major

This is a print out format for stickers that we used to warn people of the mercury in CFLs.

I found this somewhere and thought it was an interesting resource for people thinking about persuasion and changing culture. I don't necessarily agree with it all, but it's worth the read.

We presented to the alumni board on October 20th 2007 about the amazing stuff we do after Chris Wells presented. If you want to contact alumni who are interested in working with students on sustainability, this is the crew. Attached are a list of 07-08 members, a description of the board, and a set of 06-07 goals.

Instead of attaching the series of 9 incredible guides that the Rocky Mountain Institute has created to help people like us improve energy efficiency in their homes, I'm linking directly to their awesome website here.

Collaborating with community groups, home-owners, schools, politicians, energy companies and more, we are launching an initiative to create community revolving funds that support energy effiiency and renewable energy.  Initially, this means that home-owners collectively invest in their own home efficiency and share the savings with the community fund, to generate more capital.

Goodstein is an expert in the economic impacts of climate change, and has ideas on how addressing climate change wisely can have vast (and positive) economic and environmental impacts.

After establishing a Clean Energy Revolving Fund at Macalester College through MacCARES, students Asa Diebolt and Timothy Den Herder-Thomas wrote this manual explaining how to establish such funds.
