From m.ansara at commongroundtravel.com Sun Aug 22 12:11:12 2010 From: m.ansara at commongroundtravel.com (Merri Ansara@Common Ground) Date: Sun Aug 22 12:11:37 2010 Subject: [Sage] Anybody know of a 2-3 bedroom for rent? Message-ID: Dear Friends, Does anyone know of a 2 or 3 bedroom place for rent (reasonable price) for my daughter and 2 grandkids? They are in school in Hatfield, my daughter will be working in Holyoke, and of course we all gather here in Easthampton at my place. So really Amherst-Hatfield-Hadley-Leverett-Holyoke etc could be considered. It could also be either a short term or long term rental, for instance if anyone knows anyone going on sabbatical. Any leads would be appreciated. Best, Merri Ansara -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To my knowledge he does not state that the solution to global warming must be renewable sustainable energies and energy efficiency initiatives that are both nuclear free and carbon free. He has many admirers and followers. However, many that I have spoken to actually favor nuclear power as a solution to global warming. I have never read, seen or heard him refute that. Many people have had this conversation with him, but to my knowledge and reading his commentaries, he does not disavow nuclear technologies. I agree with you that he is an effective communicator, but he is NOT communicating one of the most important aspects regarding our future course of action to address the problems of global warming. I welcome your repsonse, Hattie ____ Hattie Nestel hattieshalom@verizon.net On Aug 22, 2010, at 4:38 PM, abbie jenks wrote: > > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ----- > From: "Transition Massachusetts" > > To: gandhi0324@comcast.net > Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2010 1:53:18 PM > Subject: Bill McKibben talk in Lexington, Sunday, August 29th > > Transition Massachusetts > Community Resilience, Self-Reliance, Renewable Energy & Cooperation > A message to all members of Transition Massachusetts > > One week from today Bill McKibben returns to his home town of > Lexington, MA to talk about his latest book Eaarth: Making a Life on > a Tough New Planet.
