StepItUp 2007 Nevada County brainstorming

Today in Grass Valley (and 1299 other locales) citizens attended a Step It Up 2007 "things you can do to fight global warming" event. Afterwards a group discussion was held, for brainstorming ideas.

Idea: let the brainstorming happen online too, not just at events.

Until there's a better spot on the web - at apple-nc.org or at powerup-nc.org - here's a spot for our ideas.

some to start:

• Nevada County Electric Vehicle Society; people interested in getting an EV would know who to contact, to get an owner's perspective


• "My God is a Treehugger" bumperstickers
• "my next car will be electric" bumperstickers (with a url)
• College and university course registration forms should include an "I'm interested in carpooling" checkbox; software could identify other students that live nearby and are also interested (and have a similar schedule?)
• "Express" bus service between Grass Valley and Nevada City, that takes the freeway
  (and stops only at offramps; see Monbiot's column making this suggestion)
• Maidu blessings that include a moment of silence for our ancestors, should also include a moment of silence for our descendants.
  
• ..."Bulk Item Garbage Pickup" Week, where all manner of manna is left streetside for our perusal and reusal before it gets scooped into dumptrucks and carted to the magical land of 'Away'.

• (more to come)
