In January, Washington DC instituted a 5 cent tax on disposable bag use (paper and plastic).  Since then disposable bag use has dropped from 22,000,000 to 3,000,000 a month!  That’s absolutely fantastic.  Not only has DC raised its tax revenues by supporting the environment, the tax is actually helping the environment in a big way.

Let’s institute the tax here in Nevada County. Contact your representative and let’s get this to happen.

Here’s an article about this successful environmental effort.

Thank you everyone who participated and donated to the Food Bank!  We raised many bags of food and quite a bit of money for the Food Bank.

We also had lots and lots of fun hanging out and playing.

In case you can’t make this evening’s Non-Potluck, I’m at the dojo now.  Someone should be here thoughout the day.  If we have to leave, it would only be for a short time.

We’ve already had four people make donations!

Please attend the Non-Potluck.  If you can’t, drop by and drop off a donation.

I was just interviewed by Paul Emery of KVMR News about the Non-Potluck food and fundraiser for the Food Bank.  Paul says the interview will be on between 6:00 and 6:30 tonight.  Listen in, if you get a chance.

Thank you, Paul, for the opportunity to talk about the Non-Potluck, the Food Bank and Aikido’Ka.  I really appreciate it.

Here’s the link to the article.  The article is brief and doesn’t tell about the fun stuff we’ll doing at the Non-Potluck.  But it’s great that they printed info about the Non-Potluck.

Thanks Union.
