~~What can we do to make the community i live in 'Go Green' ?~~?
Posted by admin on May 29, 2009
I know by picking up trash and use resuable bags but i want to know is there any cool ways to make a home / Community Go Green in a simple method?
One simple but effective way to go green is to Conserve Water.
Presently many parts of the world are facing fresh water shortages, especially Southern California. Water Conservation will not only help these areas face the challenge of water shortage but also keep other places from facing a similar situation.
Small things like turn off the tap when not in use, take shorter showers, avoid car washes etc can save gallons of water per day and make a big difference to the planet. Here are some water saving tips: http://www.bewaterwise.com/tips01.html
Spread the word within your community and encourage evryone to save water at home, schools, office, parks etc. Together you can make a big difference.
Green Chair at Barnes and Noble
Posted by admin on May 25, 2009
Erotic Drama DVD - Veteran South Korean director Park Chul-soo (301/302) wrote and directed the erotic drama Green Chair. Seoh Jung (The Isle) stars as Kim Moon-hee, an older woman who has just been released from police custody for deflowering an underage young man, Hyun (newcomer Shim Ji-ho). (In South Korea, the age of sexual consent is 20, and Hyun is only 19.) Upon her release, Moon-hee is surprised when Hyun shows up and spirits her away from eager reporters. Dodging a prying reporter and staying out of sight, Moon-hee and Hyun go to a motel, where they continue their torrid affair. Moon-hee thinks Hyun is only interested in sex, so she breaks up with him, and goes to stay with her friend, Jean (Oh Yun-hong). She’s heartbroken that Hyun didn’t try to get her to stay, but she soon learns that he has followed her. The couple stays with Jean, who seems to share Moon-hee’s attraction to the handsome young man. Moon-hee fulfills her community service (part of her sentence) by caring for senior citizens in a rest home. The two struggle through their challenging relationship, dealing with Hyun’s immaturity and Moon-hee’s insecurity. With Hyun’s 20th birthday approaching, they plan a big dinner party, inviting everyone who’s had a recent impact on their lives. Green Chair was shown at the 2005 edition of the New York Asian Film Festival, presented by Subway Cinema. - Green Chair at Barnes and Noble
What is “green” as it relates to community and environmental planning?
Posted by admin on May 11, 2009
I'm going to write a scholarship essay on community planning and it asks you to define "green", I've got a good idea but I'd like to know what other people think. (Other than the obvious fact it's a color on the spectrum).
I think the most important thing is making it pedestrian friendly. Most people never consider walking from their house to the grocery store because "it's too far" even when it's only a mile or two ago. That's because it's not a pleasant walk. On the other hand, the Las Vegas Strip is three miles long and people walk back and forth on it all day because it's pedestrian friendly: there's scenery and most crosswalks are marked and signalled well or have been replaced by bridges.
Here's a bad example: when a new light rail line in Hillsboro Oregon was built they were all bragging about a pedestrian friendly neighborhood called Orenco Station. This neighboorhood was build half a mile north of the station. Most people who used the light rail drove to the train station's park and ride lot instead of walking. Instead, they should have built the neighboorhood right next to the station (with a sound barrier by the tracks).

Green ideas for community service club?
Posted by admin on May 3, 2009
I'm the president of a community service club.
We're looking for new ideas for helping our school and community go green.
We have recycle cans all over campus and in classrooms. We have also planted trees in our community.
Do you have any ideas for us?
For a fundraiser find a nice reusable water bottle that you can sell to people for a good price.
Ask the school to turn of half or a quarter of the lights in the school were they are not needed.
Have people sign a petition to go green, hand out pamphlets that mention all the ways to go green.
Ask your school to get more organic foods in your lunchroom, or foods that produce a lesser carbon footprint.
Have an environmental meeting, and have food. (everybody comes where there is food)

Can my fiance start studying at a community college on a Fiance Visa?
Posted by admin on Apr 25, 2009
I am in the process of researching what is better, going straight for the green card or filing for a fiance visa. One of our major problems is not only being together, but also when can my fiance start studying a the local community college. Does he have to wait for his green card or can he do so on a fiance visa?
My husband came on a fiance visa and after we married we went to the local community college to see about classes. They told us that he could go ahead and be admitted as a foreign student and pay the expensive fees that they charge out of country students. They told us as soon as he got his green card he could be admitted just like any other local student and that he would then qualify for pell grant and student loans. Good luck!
Gone to Green
Posted by admin on Apr 21, 2009
In Gone to Green, Lois goes from being a corporate journalist at a large paper in the Midwest to the owner of The Green News-Item, a small twice-weekly newspaper in rural North Louisiana. The paper was an unexpected inheritance from a close colleague, and Lois must keep it for at least a year, bringing a host of challenges, lessons, and blessings into her life.When Lois pulls into Green on New Year’s Day, she expects a charming little town full of smiling people. She quickly realizes her mistake. After settling into a loaned house out on Route 2, she finds herself battling town prejudices and inner doubts and making friends with the most surprising people: troubled teenager Katy, good-looking catfish farmer Chris, wise and feisty Aunt Helen, and a female African-American physician named Kevin.Whether fighting a greedy, deceitful politician or rescuing a dog she fears, Lois notices the headlines in her life have definitely improved. She learns how to provide small-town news in a big-hearted way and realizes that life is full of newsworthy moments. When she encounters racial prejudice and financial corruption, Lois also discovers more about the goodness of real people and the importance of being part of a community.While secretly preparing the paper for a sale, Lois begins to realize that God might indeed have a plan for her life and that perhaps the allure of city life and career ambition are not what she wants after all.
