EcoSherpa Newsletter - Summer Edition
We did it! Our first newsletter is finally finished!
Over the months since starting EcoSherpa, if there was another motto aside from “Realistic, Responsible Living” that would be applicable it would “slow and steady” - since this is the approach we’ve taken with this website.
Well, I think in the case of our newsletter, “better late than never” might be even more appropriate than that!
Our original plans for a “May Newsletter” gradually morphed into a “Spring/Summer” idea, before finally becoming our current “Summer 2007″ offering. The combination of very busy schedules and technical challenges (it being our very first PDF newsletter and all) certainly didn’t help!
What’s important is that it IS now finished, and ready to be (hopefully) enjoyed by our newsletter members. If you have not yet signed up for the newsletter, you can find a link at the bottom of this post (or click on the newsletter link at the top of the blog).
So what’s inside?
Seeing Green II - As a follow-up to my original EcoSherpa “Seeing Green” update, I share my thoughts on our progress as we approach our 1 year anniversary.
2007 Water Conservation Project - Learn about the fun water conservation project I decided to start this summer. Goes hand in hand with my Water-Smart Gardening methods.
Urban Gardening - Steve discusses the joys of growing your own garden-fresh produce, and his plans to share his crop with family, friends and neighbours.
Summer Composting - Summer can represent a prime opportunity for fast, efficient composting - but not if you neglect your bin. Learn how to keep your heap happenin!
Terracycle Challenge - How will Terracycle stack up against solid worm compost, and MiracleGro? Should be interesting to find out! Learn about my experimental design and some of the limitations of this fun project!
Eating Locally - Steve encourages us all to spend the time getting to know our local food providers. Why give your money to the supermarket chains when you can support your local farmers and businesses, and enjoy much better food in the process!
Just so you know, we will make the newsletter available publicly in a month or so. But if you want to read it now and are not on our list, whadya waiting for? You can sign up >>HERE<< (at the bottom of the page)
Remember, it's completely free and your email address will be 100% safe with us!
As for the ETA on our next newsletter...no comment!
Ok, I'm kidding. With the first issue now under our belt, I don't think it will be too challenging to get another issue out for the fall.
