We had a power-point-presentation about how the company I´m working for is developing on the world-market and stuff like that ... so the "big boss" was there, too. He doesn´t come to my town that often, but for this meeting he always shows up. After the dinner he was talking to some workers and was just walking around, so I "catched" him and introduced my company to him. I asked him if "SIGENIA Aubi" (that´s the name of the company I´m working for) would like to support Intertribal COUP by buying Green Tags. I explained everything to him and that I also try to make young people aware of the "global warming" problem ... he was very interested and asked me to send him the link to my website and the link to Intertribal COUP, Native Wind and Native Energy. He also told me that he gets alot of requests like that and that he can´t make any promises, but he will for sure take a look at the websites and answer my email.
Now you guys have to wish me luck that he decides to support these projects and Native American People ... that would be such a great success, because this guy is RICH ... and if I say rich, I mean RICH RICH !!! I don´t even have a feeling about it, but of course I hope that I´ll get a positive answer. At least, he was very estonished that I´m involved in something like that and he promised to take a close look at my website, because I made him interested in the subject. (I told you, I´m a pretty good speaker - lol - my co-workers told me, too, because they were listening - lol)
I´ll write this email to him tomorrow and send it on Monday, because I will have to ask for his direct contact at the office first. So this will be an exciting week for me. It would be a great Christmas gift for Native Energy to get some support from Germany/Europe! And for me, too. |
Aaaaaaaaaah! So cool!!! I will keep my fingers crossed!

I was thinking a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time about doing this and I still feel kind of uncomfortable with it, but I need to do it:
I plan on buying green tags in the name of NewNativeSpirit and I want to ask you, if you want to join. If you´ve been to the website of Native Energy and checked out the opportunities, you all know that you only have to pay a little amount to help. You won´t even have to by those green tags by your own. NewNativeSpirit will purchase the green tags for you. Means you can pay like only a few Euro into a special NewNativeSpirit account and I will see how many green tags I will be able to get for your money!!! I understand that we all don´t have that much money, but I´m sure we can get the money for a Wind Builder Green Tag !!! Let us proove that Europeans do care about global warming and want to help. Only one green tag would be enough - so let´s make it happen !!! Tell your friends about it and convince them to join us !!! If there are 10 of you each asking 10 friends for only 1 Euro we would get 100 Euro = 2 green tags ( WindBuilders 6 keeps 6 tons of CO2 out of the air. For 20¢ per day ($72), you can have the same impact on global warming as taking the average car off the road for a year. It's also the same as powering and heating the average U.S. apartment entirely with wind energy for a whole year. ) So will you help to save nature?

Because they are already giving money to Unicef and other organisations. And now it's christmas time and we're a bit low at money.
How much money shall I give you?

How much? As much as you can give - less is more than nothing! As I said if a lot of people give a little it´s still enough!

As I said, convince your friends as well! A good argument to do it is that you can save some people from freezing this year !!! Because the prices on oil and stuff are so extremely high for Native people on the Rez they can´t buy it to heat their houses ... so they stay cold for the winter! With a windfarm near by to serve them with energy they could afford a heater - it´s just an example ... not one of the main reasons why one should support windfarms, but it´s something that also still happens every year!!! A lot of Native people still do freeze each year in winter !!! They don´t even have wood to heat their houses ...

Anne, it is possible for me to get involved if you're buying them in euros? I can try to convince some of my friends, but unfortunately most of them aren't as concerned about these issues as I am!

Sure, you can get involved as well ! I can talk to the people from my bank and ask them what´s the best way for international money transfer. It would be great, if you could convince some of your friends.

I'm going to try, but I know that at least one of them thinks that carbon offsetting is a cop out, like paying somebody money to erase your sins.

Mehring: Windrad verliert Rotorblatt
Am frühen Morgen ist ein Windrad auf der Mehringer Höhe auseinandergebrochen. Ein etwa 35 Meter langes Rotorblatt des ingesamt 113 Meter hohen Windrads brach ab, fiel herunter und zersplitterte in zahlreiche Stücke. Verletzt wurde niemand.
Bereits gegen 6.45 Uhr meldete ein Autofahrer der Polizei, ein Windrad an der Kreisstraße 85 drehe sich außergewöhnlich schnell. Als Polizeibeamte der Schweicher Inspektion vor Ort eintrafen, brach ein etwa 35 Meter langes Rotorblatt ab. Obwohl nach Angaben der Polizei reger Verkehr auf der Kreisstraße herrschte, wurde niemand verletzt. Die Einzelteile verteilten sich großflächig auf umliegenden Wiesen und im Wald.
Die Ursache des Unfalls ist noch völlig offen. Derzeit sind Experten der Betreiberfirma vor Ort. Die Höhe des Sachschadens steht noch nicht fest. Die Polizei hat den Bereich um das Windrad weiträumig abgesperrt, weil noch immer Teile des Rotorblattes herunter fallen. Neben der Polizeiinspektion Schweich sind auch Feuerwehr und Straßenmeisterei im Einsatz.
Translation:
In the early morning a wind turbine on the “Mehringer Höhe” has broken. An about 35 m long rotor sheet of the wind turbine, which is 113 m high, broke off, fell down and split in numerous pieces. Nobody was injured. Already around 6.45 o'clock a passing driver informed the police that a wind turbine turns extremely fast. When police officers arrived on site, an about 35 m long rotor sheet broke off. The parts of the rotor sheet spread on surrounding meadows and in the woods. The cause of the accident is still unknown. Experts of the company are on site. How big the damage to property is, is still not for sure. The police has blocked off the area around the wind turbine, because there are still parts of the rotor sheet falling down.
We had extremely heavy storms in our area today !!! Also all over Germany/Europe ! |
Wow that is something. I know here in KY we are having milder temps. Last January 2, 06 we had toronado's coming through it was around 70 degrees. Our weather here just keeps going up and down - one never knows how to dress anymore...and sickness is abounding.
I grew up on a farm with a garden and we ate mostly from it. Also if there was meat needed - they'd butcher a cow, chicken, etc. Course I would not eat any of the meat. I hope the company doesn't give you grief over your project. Gosh I'm so sleepy.
On my check from JCP I had a total of 60.5 hours of working part-time these last 2 weeks - in addition to working 40 hours a week at U fo L.
