Vermont Public Radio Regional News: VT Edition Interview: Richard Wiswall on converting the farm to biodiesel or electric
(Click link above to listen to show)

Farmer Richard Wiswall has been growing organic crops in Vermont for over 25 years. In the past five years, he's converted from oil to biodiesel all his greenhouses, tractors, trucks and a couple cars. To what end? Great produce grown a little greener, and the world's best tomatoes.

Listen in as he talks about the pros and cons of biodiesel he makes from used fryer grease that area restaurants give him.

Imagine Clean Water: Cows, Basil and Water Run off From Farm, City to Sound on GREEN ACRE Radio on KBCS and online (Part 1 of 3)

Martha Baskin starts another great radio series on Green ACRE Radio this time focused on run off --from farms, suburbs being developed and urban run off.

The LEDE: Next up is Green Acre Radio. Runoff from land, streets and even drainage ditches has been identified as the Puget Sound’s top pollutant. In Part I of a 3 part series on water pollution, Green Acre Radio visits with several farms in the Snoqualmie River Valley. Can farms be viable and protect water quality at the same time?

Green ACRE Radio Closing The Food Gap Food with Food Activist Mark WInne Caps 3 Part Series

GREEN ACRE RADIO's

Martha Baskin's excellent interviews with Mark Winne brings listeners important news about class and race driven "food deserts" that deny low income whites, blacks, red and yellow people healthy nutritious food sources because we can fill up on high fat, deep fried, cheap "food" and "junk food" with high salt contents that fill one up but not in a healthy way.

What can we do about this serious problem? What role can farmer's markets and Community Supported Agriculture or p patches play in bringing nutritious fruits and vegetables to low income communities?

Fine out more by listening in to our show this week.

Tree Preservation Legislation Proposed by Greens -- New Radio 5" Green ACRE Show

Dear Friends,

NEW! Listen to the newest Green ACRE Tree Preservation Radio show here:



Greens have organized to protect trees in Washington State so some large trees stay with us in the face of rapid development and urbanizing suburbs.

The City of Seattle has ordinances that are supposed to protect trees, but they are not enforced. So big trees up to 100 years old and more get cut with no one championing them.

Mayor Nickels wants to plant hundreds of thousands of trees. All well and good. But little twigs do not make a tree canopy.

Copywriting tips for online marketing success from Copyblogger

Copywriting tips for online marketing success from Copyblogger

You have a blog, you have a website. What do you do with all that white space? And why?

These are good questions for marketing Green A.C.R.E. Radio and Conservation Districts, too.

Brian Clark of Copyblogger asks:

So, why do we publish all this online content, anyway?

See if this sounds right:

* You need to attract attention and make people aware of who you are and what you do.
* You then need to transform that attention into revenue or some other measurable benefit.
