The former F.W. Horch retail store in Brunswick is now under capable new management; my next venture is an online F.W. Horch Sustainable Living Handbook. While that's under development, you can still get my Green Tidings newsletter.
Each month I consult many organizations and web sites to put together Green Tiding's calendar of environmental news and events. I look for anything happening that looks fun or interesting, directly related to saving the planet. While I have some ideas about how to make this calendar easier to produce, easier to use, and easier to expand to cover more communities in Maine and beyond, I thought I'd start by posting my list of sources.
