What a day!
I don’t normally update the blog except on Mondays, but after the amazing day we’ve had, I did want to share our thanks to everyone for their support of our project.
I received a phone call from CNN this morning (!) about Green Garbage Project and was on air by 11:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight time. They dedicated a two-minute spot to us, which can be seen here: http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/
After the CNN interview, my phone rang off the hook and my email did the electronic equivalent. We did interviews with London’s newspaper The Guardian and Adam spoke with San Francisco’s Air America for about a half hour tonight. I’m being interviewed by a Portland radio station tomorrow morning. Additionally, the newspaper at my alma mater, UW, is working on a story about our project.
We’ve been receiving emails and comments on the website all day, and every single bit of communication has been positive. I am delighted when I hear other people saying they, too, will work to reduce their trash. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart for your support. I’m both humbled and amazed at the outpouring of help, information, and support from all over. I hope you all keep reading our blog each Monday and please always feel free to contribute to the discussion. Thank you.

Good luck to you! I’ll be following your progress.
Congratulations on the publicity! Just read about you in the Globe and Mail – fabulous project. Thanks for the tips and tricks section – I was curious about a lot of this stuff when I read this recent article about a similar project.

Great going guys. Wishing you the best and hoping for a cleaner tomorrow.
There was a reference to your project in a newspaper in New Zealand today. You are showing us all that as individuals/families we can make a difference. Good on you.
Would love to see photos of your compost bin, the trash shoe box…this would be an awesome blog to share with students. Also how about including video or photo tutorials on making cheese, canning, etc. Let’s get more kids inspired to try these at home with their parents. The way to change the world is through the next generation.
