Calendar

Status

  • 4/1/10 - Mark Mayes had a telecon with the make shop and said there was a person who could bring in an fuel alcohol still to demonstrate to us. However, he lived 8 hours away in Tennessee and would need some help with gas money and lodging.
  • 3/19/10 - David Blume's Alcohol Fuel for Sustainable Living Workshop was a blast! Learned alot about DIY ethanol production and how it can be integrated into permaculture. Inspired a project for the community garden to build a CSA/CSE. Also had an opportunity to network with out-of-state Green Maker members and other green groups around the country.
  • 3/10 - Alii came on board with the community garden project. Also gearing up for Arrrbor Day!
  • 1/10 - Spoke with Steve C. about collaboration to install an Arduino Power Monitor in the shop to help with the energy consumption reduction project.

Projects & Future Actions

  • Arrrbor Day - See project page
  • Community Garden - See project page
  • Green Building - See project page
  • Green Hack-A-Month - Next session is tentatively planned for 5/15/10. Looking for projects to do in a day.
