I would love contribute a regular column about greywater, I recently installed the first permitted greywater system in Santa Clara County, and am installing three more, including a constructed bog in a tub and a constructed wetland of <u>edible</u> native california plants. People are interested in these sort of things these days; a few weekends ago I gave a workshop on greywater that was a big <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:2Mvb2qgCjwYJ:www.cngf.org/programs/programs.htm+cngf+greywater&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a">success</a>.<br>
<br>People are interested in GREENBUILDING these days and us Greens are naturally at the forefront, and could be something to capitalize on. I am starting to create a greenbuilding column that I can sell to the local papers, and maybe syndicate-ize. I have been waiting for someone else to do it, but it has not happened yet. I am a pretty good writer, I am thinking I might have an opportunity. I like the idea of using Green Party as focus for this effort...<br>

<div>Oooooh! Here's a way to involve non-Greens. We can collect health insurance horror stories. I'm sure Lynn has a boatload of them. We can work for SB810. I may actually be sorry I'm going away.</div>

<div>Wow, Caroline! What a great idea!
<div><br></div>
<div>To make it pay for itself, we'd need to identify an open market segment. What and who would be our audience? Greens and wanna be Greens? What do they need from us? A way to frame each Green issue that makes it superior to anything the two majors are doing? To add to the GP juggernaut that we need for our swan song, if that's what Prop 14 hands us?
<div><br></div>
<div>The horrendous oil spill is an easy one. So, I think, is the issue of neverending wars. Add to that, the wretched health care system that demonizes and humiliates its "consumers/customers." </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All we have to do is solve these problems in a believable way and we've got a winner for a magazine. Not so easy, but doable if we put our heads together. We need "white papers" from the Green Party: we have Fred, Wes, Jim S, and me—all of whom have written articles and flyers for GP issues. Add to this the contingent who send emails and monitor what's going on out there like Gerry and Alex who also write. Did I miss anyone here?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We could also publish letters to the editor that didn't get publishe<font size="3"><span style="font-size: 11px;">d?</span></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We could start off with Laura Wells' idea on the state bank to push our candidates. KPFA could provide state bank info and so could Carol Brouillet, being some of the material they have covered in the recent past.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Tian's graphic stuff is top drawer for illustrations! Some of it would make great humo<font size="3"><span style="font-size: 11px;">r!</span></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And we could advertise Caroline's creations! Green businesses—locally to start.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And at the moment we have a working printer to drop some copies at tabling.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Other ideas?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Did I just scare everyone away? <sigh> Sorry, it's the freelancer and adult ed teacher in me that just busts out in enthusiasm. I'll go away... <mumble, mumble></div>
