    I am 50% green. I likely failed on anything not practical but based on research… like the question about Kyoto.

    Hey Gavin, I was thinking of you yesterday as we passed by a house that had a large portion of it’s roof covered in solar panels and had a wind turbine as well 🙂

    Hmmmm, I’m too scared to tell you what it said about me.

    Can’t wait to let Dale do it. Hopefully he is “browner” than me!
