My Interests

Getting Rowdy for Akron. Let's ACT to defend our breathing air, reduce energy use to prepare for a sustainable future, and BRACE for the consequences of Global Warming

I'd like to meet:

other akronites who breathe, star gazers, rabble rousers, bikers, efficiency experts.

Books:

(ding) the more you know..... Idling your car gets you nowhere. Remember the TEN SECOND RULE = If you are going to be parked for more than 10 seconds, turn off the engine. Engines are running under peak performance when you are idle, thus burning more gas than most moving vehicles. Idling defanitly uses more fuel than restarting the car (look into it!)

Heroes:

bikers, walkers, bus riders, carpoolers, compost pile founders, urban gardeners, rabble rousers
