7/7/03, Berkeley
Berkeley Cob Care Group Forming.
The two Berkeley cob buildings, Troth, at the Northside Community Garden, and the Malcom X Garden Greenhouse are in need of periodic care. I am seeking cob devotees interested in forming a group with the focus of providing long term care for these two cob buildings. Of immediate concern, is the reconstruction of one of the attached benches at the Troth building. It lost part of it's back wall due to rain & needs fixing. Interested folks please contact John Fordice at otherfish@comcast.net

8/13/03, Berkeley, CA
Today ADPSR-NorCal launches its re-designed website.
The goal is to provide easier access to all the information available while keeping the site easy to maintain and update by our volunteers.
One of the organizing principles of the new site is to use color ro help people to find information of interest. I chose to use the colors of the origins/systems/cycles/choices graphic at the top of each page. I also want to constantly remind our users of our mission. With this in mind the following colors will be used to identify information in the following categories:
Ecological Design & Green Building
Safe, Secure & Sustainable Energy Policy
Green & Healthy Communities & Bio-regions
Peace, Justice, Non-violence & Disarmament
