Sorry I've been so absent lately guys. I'm in a VERY self-centered mode at the moment.

Binghamton Street Team Meet-Up at Otsiningo Park

August 8, 2009 from 6:30pm to 8pm

We haven't had a chance to meet in a looooong time, so we're going to use this as a chance to meet new members, start working on the new sustainability packet, and start working on plans for the Regional meeting in September!We'll meet at the bathrooms near the playground in Otsiningo Park. Hopefully it will be nice that day so we can sit outside, but if not, we'll retreat to the pavilion.Bring lawn chairs and if everyone brings a snack to pass, we can have a picnic.Hope to see you all there!!!See More

Profile Information

I am a(n): individual

City: Thompson

State: PA

Zip: 18465

Date I Joined Fight With Tools: October 14, 2008

Gender: Female

About Me: I am a college graduate with a BS in Biology and an environmental science minor. For the past (almost) 8 years I've worked overnights in a Children's Home. As soon as we get the major projects on our house done (new roof, new furnace) I will be getting chickens, then alpacas, and then a couple of horses. Outside is where I belong and when the weather is nice you'll find me up to my elbows in dirt in one of my gardens, tromping through the woods with my dogs, fishing in our creek, or out in the canoe. During the winter I try to keep myself busy with crafts and I read like a fiend.

How I would like to change the world:: --One mind at a time.
--People need to start taking more responsibility for their actions instead of blaming society, the government, and everyone around them.

Tools I Have: --Time, lots of it
--Friends, lots of them
--A library full of books (seriously, 8 bookcases at least)

Tools I Need: --More friends :-)
--More education
--More confidence

Favorite Bands: Radiohead, K'Naan, Flobots, Tool, Spoon, Blind Melon, Skybox, Guster, State Radio, The Black Keys, David Bowie, Saul Williams, Fiona Apple, Dave Matthews Band

What issues are you most passionate about?: yes

Me? You want to know about me??

That's a little weird, but okay. :-) I'm not great at talking about myself in written form. Ask me a question in person and I'll talk all day, but I feel odd writing when it's about me. It has something to do with seeing so many sentences beginning with "I"..... Oh well, you asked for it!

My house, and our 18 acres, is called the Dandoislion Homestead. Our friend Jarad named it a couple of years ago, and it stuck. Said house is in the middle of nowhere, on a dirt road. Ahhh,… Continue

My New Plan

There are a lot of things that I just "don't get". Of all the things that I "don't get", littering HAS to be in the top ten. It's right up there with: turning all the lights on even though the sun is shining, using paper plates & cups (or worse, styrofoam) when you have dishes AND a dishwasher in your house, and watering your lawn when it's raining. Those are just a few, spend some time with me and you'll see there are countless others.

The littering thing, though, has been… Continue

Drilling for Natural Gas in the Marcellus Shale Deposit

As our country finally begins to move away from a petroleum based economy towards renewable sources of energy, people seem to be focusing on natural gas. A lot of people are seeing it as a kind of savior. Good, we can just transfer everything to domestic natural gas. No more importing oil from "people who don't like us very much". But the issue of drilling for natural gas is far more complicated than that. Beyond the fact that natural gas is NOT a renewable resource there are many, many… Continue
