Innovation on the high seas

Noodling around the web today, I bumped into this article...it expands on my post some time back regarding solar powered watercraft.

ENN: Solar Powered System Helps Reduce Ship's Emissions - Innovation on the High Seas

Encouraging stuff...at least someone out there has the foresight to develop this! S

The purpose of this blog...

...is to represent an environmental chronicle of sorts --- an ongoing report card on the status of our national and planet-wide ecology --- and discussion of what our political landscape brings to bear on it. Together we can help affect change!!!

I might occasionally noodle into other topics that keep me amused, such as music and a little sports commentary, just to mix things up a bit.

Be sure to keep visiting the p-patch to see what kind of new shtick is growing. The best garden parties are here! ...FYI it's pronounced "pee-patch" (not trying to encourage indecent exposure in the garden either, so keep your pants zipped please)

Hints on how to behave in the p-patch - a loose "civility policy" if you will...

Say what you mean, and mean what you say, but don't be mean when you say it. If you're one of those p-patch bullies, then we'll turn the hose on you.
This site is intended for constructive dialogue and expression of views - let's keep it that way and have some fun!
Personal attacks are totally unnecessary, and those doing so in the garden may trip over a sprinkler hose, step on a rake, or even get a shovel thrown at them (but hey, I didn't do it).
SWEVA'S P-PATCH is a blog. If you're new to this sort of forum, I'd advise you to read some postings and walk around the garden a bit before posting any comments. That way you'll have more fun at the garden party!

so Sweva, I still don't get it. What in the heck's a "p-patch?"

A p-patch is a small community garden. The ones I'm familiar with are in Seattle, and from what I can tell managed in a coordinated effort between the city and residents since they legally belong to the public. The city actually has a job dedicated specifically to the p-patch program, "Community Garden Liaison." While they may be on private property, they are sanctioned and protected through easements and cannot be wrecked by a said property owner - even if they're blocking street access from garages. Many of the p-patches are nearly microscopic in size and tucked into odd little corners around town. I'll try to find a link that has more insights and see how the program got started.
