[Sosfbay-discuss] Fwd: Green Party Values--at a bank???

[Larry Cafiero Liaison]

There's nothing like gravity taking its course, Tian (after all, it's 
not just a good idea, it's the law . . .), but I seem to recall the 
Ithaca Hours program, which I believe was formed by a Green in Ithaca, 
N.Y., in the '90s and seems to be thriving in that upstate N.Y. town.

Here's their site: http://www.lightlink.com/hours/ithacahours/

It's a very interesting concept, to say the least.
