The first
Carnival of the Green has begun.
In my links on the left sidebar of this blog is a link to the
Carnival of the Green Schedule.
The first one is at City Hippy.
I had submitted my article on Utah’s Dumping Grounds but it wasn’t included the collection of articles. I submitted it within the time frame but when
I wrote to the organizers I found out that even though I sent it on Friday (the 4th – the criteria was to have articles submitted that were posted on our blogs between 10/21 and 11/4) my email wasn’t received or therefore opened until Saturday and so I didn’t qualify for the first session. Dang. Email delivery is so quirky sometimes! However, it will be in session #2. Yay! The bottom line is, though, this is a great thing that is happening. The more things like this that are organized, the more the green messages get out.
Jen’s Green Journal‘s article on Toxic Neighborhoods did get in to the first session!
I had experienced a very hectic and emotional week so I was behind on getting things done they way I want, including timelines for submissions of things required of me, therefore I was doing things almost all week at the last minute! Oh well, better luck next time!
It looks like Carnival of the Green will be a big success and very valuable. What a great concept!

Hey Dee
Yeah sorry it did not make it in…I just stopped taking new posts on friday night and that email only got to me on the 5th…maybe because I am in the UK the time zones threw me a bit…
Am sure it will be in the next one…is a great post.
And am really sorry about John…terrible. A light goes out…and we are all worse off for it!
Namaste

Re: Carnival
Hey, no problem! I am just glad this is happening. The more things like this that get out there, the more green messages get across! Thanks for all your work.
Yes, John’s death is a tragedy. He and his family are victims of the pitfalls of drug abuse and the lack of consistent help for it. I only hope the message of taking care of yourself reaches out to other students in our communities who might be suffering the same.
Thanks for your thoughts.
