The Mobile Webinar was a huge success. I and many others tuned in and asked some important questions which garnered decidedly candid answers -- though some were more informative than others.
Unfortunately, I was given the latter of these categories for most of the project. I'll post a transcript of the questions and answers in a later post. Needless to say, I know Mayor Jones is trying his best to fulfill everyone's needs, and there were some far more complicated subjects discussed than I'd anticipated; some which required lengthy explanation and extensive background research. It'll happen. These people of Mobile want their answers, and they came to the mayor in droves to get them. In that light, it was rather uplifting to see such support for the project.
I know this means there will be many more to come, so be sure to stay updated on the City of Mobile Web site (which has a new look!).
In other news, we're less than a week away from Earth Day 2009! If you're in Fairhope or are planning on making a trip sometime soon, they're hosting the annual Earth Day Mobile Bay on April 25, 2009: http://www.earthday.net/node/13931
(Note the date. Earth Day is officially on April 22.)
Check out any of the cool environmental links on this site for interesting information regarding Earth Day, going green, energy conservation, and more.
What's especially interesting is Grist.org's "Screw Earth Day" contest. Between now and April 23, they're giving everyone the chance to win both a free download of their book Wake Up and Smell the Planet and the chance to win tickets and airfare for two to the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival just by signing up for their free service! And I did download the book, incidentally, it becomes available for you immediately after you register!
