POST YOUR EVENTS WITH THE DIRT!

Submitted by Laura on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 15:57.

Hello all! Here's a request that goes out to YOU with your many eyes and ears in the community. Having been in contact with organizations since 1999 to post their events and get them out and in the public eye, we have a pretty good track record so far. Of course there are always new organizers, new environmentally friendly events being dreamed up and many many more things happening than even we can keep our ear to the ground. Help is needed. If you know of an environmentally minded event that raises dialogue or awareness about a particular issue or encourages people to take a positive action, feel free to post it here on this website. OR, send the link to the organizer and reccommend our site to them using word-of-mouth publicity. If you let an organizer know that you would love to be reading their events on The Dirt! it sometimes can carry a lot more weight.  Best wishes, and thanks for your support. Laura B. Nobel

It Must Run in the Family...Mike Nobel Rocks Out Iowa

It must run in the family... I just found out my uncle, a dedicated musician in Maine, was invited to Iowa to help put on a concert as part of Project Green Earth on April 27th at an elementary school there. It sounds like it was really neat and put on in a wholistic manner.

A midnight thunderstorm

wakes me up out of a light sleep

I was sleeping lightly

in my body

Love, your eyes. . .

smiling this weekend

as we moved through

friendships and visits

sunlight dappled the trees

You may have wondered why The Dirt email issue has been mysteriously silent these past few weeks.

I think what I saw might have been a juvenile red shouldered hawk. I was walking across the lawn after playing soccer, hot and sweaty and quite tired. I glanced off to the left and caught the swoop of a hawk flying low - around the level of my thighs or my knees around a bush and carrying a bird below it! I walked forward to peer around the bush.
