Who is the Green Dude??
Hey - someone killed the link to my avatar picture. Here is the "nerw" green dude with the green dude son ... pretty neat!.
On a recent trip to Rhode Island, I found some new topics - seventhgeneration.com and a small boarding school on Aquidneck (sp?) Island with an on-site windmill. Look for a post soon on both.
*****************
Green Dude lives in the Western suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He has been recycling since a young boy ... starting with Cub Scout paper drives for fund raisers in the early 1970's!
Much later while living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (mid 1980's) he collected glass bottles and tin cans for a weekly community based recycling program - well before the city had mandatory recycling.
He has managed to keep compost piles at home and recycles into mulch egg shells, coffee grinds, all matter of vegetables along with grass clippings and leaves. I know, if I were truly GREEN I would have sheep "cutting the grass" but that is not in the cards or the zoning.
This fall he recycled all the leaves in his yard instead of bagging and having the trash men pick up. This was accomplished with a mulcher / shredder that reduced leaves 8:1 or more!
More to follow ....
