FatCow's Gone Green? You bet. Granted, we're a web hosting company; everything's online. There are no earthly resources to expend ... except all that electricity. And so, for the last two years, we've been offsetting all of our electricity use with wind-generated Renewal Energy Certificates, becoming a "Green Power Partner" of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These Renewable Energy Certificates prevent the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year. The estimated yearly benefit to the environment is equivalent to planting ~2,390 acres of trees or not driving 6.1 million miles. So by using FatCow AlterEnglish is eco-friendly too - how cool is that! Wildflower Home is a womens' shelter In Chiang mai, Thailand run by an American woman and her ex-refugee husband from Vietnam. The women are often refugees themselves, fleeing abusive homes or governments, homeless, passportless and otherwise disenfranchised. At Wildflower they learn English and skills for jobs and getting care and housing for themselves and their children while waiting for U.N. refugee status. The home aspires to self-sufficiency, raising fish for food, chickens for eggs, pigs for bio-cooking fuel and various fruits, vegetables and rice. Housing is basic thatch huts, but they make mud and straw bricks which they are using to make beautiful buildings which will hopefully one day house all the residents. Thanks to Byron, a volunteer at the home, for today's post In the first of an occasional series Sue posts a book review. Can you spot the idiom?
Andrew Collins. Where Did It All Go Right? If you would like to know what it was like to grow up in an English town (Northampton) in the 1970s, then this book is very good. Nothing very dramatic happens but you will learn a lot about English people and what makes them tick. Andrew Collins had a normal childhood but he kept diaries of every year from the time he was six years old. He records what he and his family had for dinner, what sweets they ate, where they went on holiday and what he was doing in school. He grows up through this documentation but his sense of humour shines through and his affection for his family underpins the book. It is full of nostalgia, what toys he played with, who is friends were and where they played and what inspired him to grow up to work in journalism and the media. It is a very funny book and very well observed. For more information go to www.wherediditallgoright.com Thanks Sue. Until next time take care George I have Kun Patcharin's permission to tell this story. AlterEnglish's trio of George, Byron and Kun Patcharin were out on the town catching some live music. We went in a bar, ordered our drinks and Byron and I sat down at a table. Kun Patcharin remained standing. The conversation went something like this: George: Where are you going? KP: I'm going to buy some bin George: What? KP: I want some bin George: (confused) why do you want a bin? KP: I want to eat a bin George: (totally confused) you want to eat a bin! KP: Yes, like we used to last time George: Hah, (as the light of understanding dawns) you want a bowl of salted peanuts. KP: yes, of course. To a Thai this makes perfect sense.Peanuts are beans, they don't worry about plurals, articles are a bit of a mystery so " I want to eat a bin." Easy when you know. Until next time take care. |
