Hey Ya’ll! Not too much has been going on since the last update. Luke did teach a few workshoppers about the the Hostels new Fungus Growing Log on Saturday. He explained to us just how simple it is to grow our own gourmet mushrooms. Our projects have been wrapped up, and We have started planning some new ones. We will be wrapping our shower tanks with insulation, as it was one recomendation from the Southface group. We are also planning to do a huge light bulb switch over in the coming months. We will be switching out from regular light bulbs to more energy efficient bulbs like LED and compact flourescents. Any donations of such bulbs would be greatly apreciated.

We have been visited recently by our former manager Mark Garner, and hearing about his future endeavors in green living. He and Mattchew had gone to a Green Building Seminar with Murray on Saturday in Savannah. They said that Robert Kennedy Jr spoke, and recieved a standing ovation on his words about our environment and the prospects of a green economy. We would also like to thank Mattchew for all his hard work and his years of dedication to us here at The Hostel. Tomorrow he takes off for new adventures, and we wish him well in all he does.

Thats it for now folks stay tuned…

May the Forest Be with You
