Andy's Plan
The new plan is to work on a new project called:
http://climatetheconversation.blogspot.com/
Whether it works out or not I don't know. I'm still me, I'm trying to fight the good fight and trying to keep at it. However I'm pretty bummed about a lot of things. For those keeping track I'm going to be 32 tomorrow. Things aren't getting super difficult but I'd like to get somewhere and get more stuff done.

The last post, was a while, and now the wait over
I honestly doubt many people would be waiting for a post after all these years.
I'm in a small way living my dream. I have a job that I get paid to try and help people be more green. I advise people in manners of being more energy conservative. Throwing in a few green tips, just to help out along the way.
I'm still wishing to be a Green Runner Extraordinaire. A leader of the Green Running Community.
We've taken hits, not just the green movement, but humanity. The Republicans, or at least the people who are clamoring at the top of the Republican party would like people to believe: is that they have everyone best interest at heart. Don't get me wrong people, Obama isn't prefect, nor am I, and for that matter I don't anyone is. But these Republicans will talk about these things like trickle down, and some type of Freedom to Work items.
Trickle down, let's just go over some things, someone gives you $200. Expecting you to turn around and give a portion or all of this to charity. What are you going to do with it, get something done that's been on the backburner for a while, take a breather, or relaxer on the bahalf of that $200, or do what they expect you to do?
Right sure, I'm sure most people go around and give all their access to charities.
No this Freedom to Work thing, what is the true name. I am not sure, but the concept is this Right to not pay Union dues... Alright that's great, but think about the idea of a Union. The Union is like the United States, it stands together, stands firm, for the betterment of all. So in essence this is about people being able to have the benefits of being part of the Union, but not having to pay their dues. Putting it another way, we're not rendering to God what is God's, and Caesar, what is Caesar's. Or another way, we're not paying our part. Sounds really like you Republicans want to be part of the betterment,
What ever happened to Republicans who believed in being independent, being self sufficient, being industrious. Fact is Republicans seem to be more overly dependent on Gasolene and other crude-oil products then most. Being sufficiently wanting of others peoples things. Whiling to have other people do their work, as long as they get the rewards too.
Don't get me wrong, I think Welfare system needs some work, I think Medicaid and Medicare need work. But so does most of America.
I have this great idea, why don't we change things around a bit. Make sure people are productive in the Government, or get ride of them. Then hire people, for Public Work Projects, give great Benefits, and a minor wage. If they can't hack it, let them leave. Make them know, it's their decision, work for the sack of production, or very well, be unemployed.

Been a while
I just came back from Blue Mountain Cross Country Camp. I am hoping to hit things harder and go after my dreams even harder. Hopefully with more friends and support then ever before thought possible. At least by me ;)
We are at a Cross roads here in civilization, is it important to live in cities, with this concept of no one left behind, or is it better to live a survival of the fittest. I've got a fair chance of making it either way, I'm strong, tough, and reliable; but alas I care... I want to leave no one behind, I want everyone to be able to have life, liberty, and to be able to pursuit that ever elusive happiness.
What is my dream to become an eco runner champion. So yes, on November 6th, of 2008 vote for the Environment. However vote for me as well. Vote your trust in me. If you need help, I'm around so ask. I'll give you an honest answer, making it simple and as easy as possible. That might not make it easy, but it should be easily understood.
If we all work together we'll get there, together!
Thanks,
Rest Well, Best All, or All to Hell!

The Race
It wasn't going so well, I kept resting and slowly falling back to sleep too many things on my mind like how could I possibly green the race. The greening of the race would fail dismally, but I see things as not working very well when they may be in fact working fine. So how can I come up with something to show whether or not it is working fine. Standards are needed, I want and need some form of rubric.
The race itself, I kept in it competing against the same person for almost two and a half miles, and then suddenly I just didn't want it, it wasn't as bad as other times. I stayed engaged far better then other times, however I didn't get it. I should have wanted it more.
17:10 it is a PR, it is the best time in years and yet it is still not under 17:00, and as such I am annoyed.
On the flip side there was no compost material collected, plenty that could have been I have no estimates there. Roughly one recycling container of plastic bottles and cans was filled, I estimate that this was not close to the whole amount that was used. The Nike Re-use a Shoe collection didn't seem to even raise questions. I guess I need to have a better estimate, a better feel for how exactly this system works.
I have started a compilation of how to best hit the goals, and that is it I need the rubric so that I have some feel for how far things should be hit.

Upcoming Elections: Vote for the Environment
Vote for the Environment.
How do you know who to vote for. Listen to them, listen to the between the lines situation. Politicians are good liars, and so are the new breed of Corporate leader turned Government lap dogs. You need to discern which of the losers are the better man, and deal with them straight up. I also believe in writing them letters, advising them that they may even wish to go to hell. While these types of letters will not do anything besides get some frustration out of you and also possibly increase the likelihood that FBI or Secret Service or some other law enforcement body comes into your house it should do you an overall benefit.
In all reality though being civil, is being the best. We need active thinkers, who are trying to find things to make the world better and keep at it. If it cannot be sustained by us in practice, then it isn't sustainable.
Why?
I thought you were a savvy intellectual. No worries, none at all. I'll bring you through it and save your face.
The Planet we are on, the environment we are in is there and keeps us breathing. It keeps us alive, it keeps us well.
Some humans have this human centric view, very similar to the geocentric belief structure of the planets. Where everything revolves around the humans, instead of everything revolves around the environment. We know that the geocentric belief was just a belief and that the sun is the center of our system, and our sun is not even the center of this galaxy let alone the universe. So once again we humans, are part of the environment are part of this world, and as such we depend upon the other systems of this environment for water, food, energy, oxygen and to put it simply life.
So please, vote for the Environment!
Rest well, best all,

Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween and
Be Safe.
I'd also like to address packaging. Trick or treating comes with a huge amount of packaging. Packaging all those small things in small packages is more packaging then the equivalent volume of candy in one large package. However because it isn't safe to do, we have all this waste...
As such I will be Boycotting the candy portion of Halloween, though I will be having a bit of a treat as I have Track Workout Tonight!

U.N.S. Earth S.O.S.
. . . - - - . . .
There is this ship U.N.S. Earth that a lot of people are on, a few billion in fact. As far as I know it, you are too. The strange thing isn't that there is a leak, but that we keep discussing if it is there and it has been known for decades. However instead of doing anything, everyone seems to stand around look at it, and then discuss how it isn't truly a leak. It has grown over the generations, it was small and now it is large, and it will only get larger.
. . . - - - . . .
How can you do something? Start bailing or start plugging! And please stop discussing, it is there you've seen it, and stop lieing to others that it doesn't exist.
. . . - - - . . .
Ride a bicycle, because cars cost a lot and are only going to get more expensive.
. . . - - - . . .
Buy energy credits for Solar, Wind, Hydro or possibly even Geothermal power.
. . . - - - . . .
Eat Local, Organic, or at least Fair-trade, and those are listed in priority. Local is far more important then Organic, but if Organic is the only thing other then conventional exports or even California or Florida foods then go Organic, and finally Fair-Trade if possible do it. This is especially important for coffee drinkers, because coffee is an exported to us.
. . . - - - . . .
Reduce, reuse, and recycle, and always close the loop. Once again these are listed in priority. Do you need it, is it just going to be another bothersome thing, another thing to take more of your ever used day. Let us face it, most things being sold are just like that. Stay away from them. Reuse, especially containers plastic is stronger then steel in a weight to weight comparison. As such plastic needs to be used for a larger life then anything with steel. If your just going to throw away plastic, please stay away from it. That goes for everything else as well, throw away is terrible. I understand you don't want it in your backyard, your a Not In My Back Yard [NIMBY], and so is everyone else, so start being a Not In Anyones Back Yard [NIABY]. Finally when things do get used to their end of their life recycle them so that a new thing may be made and used. Closing the loop is if your holding on to things to reuse, reuse them do just store them. If you need to buy something find this something with Post Consumer Recycled [PCR] content.
