Something BIG is Coming

Something big is coming. On September 29th, 2009, something big is coming.

On September 29th, 2009, at the Emprium Cafe something big is coming.

On September 29th, 2009, at the Emporium Cafe, from 6-8:30 P.M. something BIG is coming.

Well, what is so big? The line-up for the Green Evening this Tuesday! The topic for Tuesday night is “Community Development” + a World Cafe discussion. And the BIG line-up is: Mr. Andrew Langford (founder of the Permaculture Diploma work net across the pond in the UK), Mrs. Liora Adler (from the Ecovillage Network of the Americans and more), there will be a speaker of our local government ( we like to call him, “The Mystery Man”), and representatives of the Tennessee Technology Center of Lewis County (they will be discussing green enterprise, community development strategies and oppourtunities in the new totally radical Green Jobs Technical Training Program. Also, two awards will be given out, the local Sonnenschein Green Business Award, the first quarterly Regional Green Business Award.

I told you something BIG was coming. So (WHOOP!) there it is! By the way, don’t forget to bring a BIG (or even Gargantuan) appetite, because the Emporium Cafe will be open for business. Don’t forget to bring a friend, and please don’t forget to come.

God bless and live green.

Glorious Trash

Howdy everyone!

The Green Alliance, yours truly, have been taking baby-sized steps, (or Hobbit-sized…never mind), to becoming more eco-friendly. We have begun separating our trash to be recycled, we now have “Plastic Only” and “Paper Only” trash cans. Once we save a large amount of this glorious trash, we will haul it all over to one of the various recycling centers near us. We’re also gathering up lots and lots of cardboard to take to our recycling center, where this trash will be made into GLORIOUS TRASH! (You can see pictures of our glorious trash cans at our Flickr page.) We hope you enjoyed reading about our most beautiful rubbish that we collect on our quest! (Quest! Quest! Quest!)

God bless, and live green.

Elvis and Racecars and Bears... Oh my!

What do you get when you have Elvis night at a raceway and Green Alliance members fundraising at the raceway? Well, you get one handy dandy Compare-o-Meter booth, a few super psyched Green Alliance members, a Green Alliance member dressed as Elvis, and another dressed as "Fast Freddy the Racing Teddy"!

Sunday evening, September 6th, many of yours truly, Green Alliance members, could have been spotted at the Tennessee Raceway! We were fundraising to help our efforts in our quest (Quest! Quest! Quest!)! We all had a lot of fun, and if you'd like to see a little bit of it, check out our Video and Pics page at our other Consevation Conversation blog. Or our Flickr pics page for some extra fun. Also, don't forget that September 29th, there will be a Green Evening at the Emporium Cafe from 6:8-30 P.M., there will be more information on this in the future.

By the way, I apologize for using such a common movie phrase spoof as the title of this post.

God bless, and live green!
