Meetup: Trip to Long Island Green Dome

Kevin Shea has invited us to visit his off-the-grid Long Island Green Dome! We'll carpool out there to lunch and explore the various methods he has used to produce his own heat and electricity, conserve water, and find out what troubles he has encountered along the way. Should be a lot of fun, and especially interesting to people considering their own energy reducing or energy producing projects.

Find out how he installed his own solar panels for electric, geothermal system for heating and cooling, and wind power generation.

The dome is super energy efficient, and sells power into the grid now. We'll even get to check out the radiant heat floors, low flow toilets, a waterless urinal, a system that captures hot water from the shower and recirculates it for heat, and so much more.

We'll meet at noon at the dome, tour the property... read more and RSVP

The Dome is in Baiting Hollow, NY

Battery Recycling Collection @ Gossett's Farmer's Market, Sat. April 3rd

Bring your household batteries to the farmer's market, Saturday, April 3rd between 9-1 at the farmer's market, or anytime on Saturday inside the nursery.
  
This includes: household batteries: both alkaline and nickel-cadmium batteries, so that includes non-rechargeables like AAA, AA, C, D, and 9 volt batteries, and rechargeable batteries.


The farmer's market will be holding collections for other difficult to recycle items in the coming months, since those of us who live in the South Salem/Cross River area don't have many choices for recycling these items properly.

______________________
ABOUT THE BOOK
*note* I strongly recommend getting the book before the event so you can really maximize your time with David.

"David Mathison's BE THE MEDIA is a text and bible on how modern methods permit every person and organization to reach an audience that only a few years ago was reserved for the multi-billion dollar media conglomerates. It is a reference for uninhibited and unlimited methods that use print, computers, and the whole spectrum of devices right at hand in almost every community and household. It shows how to spread ideas without the traditional massive presses, major networks and commercial studios."

- Ben H. Bagdikian, Author, The New Media Monopoly; Pulitzer prize-winning journalist; Dean Emeritus, Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley
