Hey friends I wanted to reach out to you to inspire you to Green up this week/weekend. Remember it doesn't have to be on the day. I convinced my Girl Scouts that it was a treasure hunt yesterday!

Hello team: Thank you all for playing on the South Burlington Energy Prize team. When we started the SBEP over a year ago, we knew we were embarking on an exciting, challenging, impactful project. But I had no idea how many people would step up to the plate and commit their time, knowledge, and experience to make it a success. We are almost a quarter of the way through the semifinal round, and already amazing changes are happening. People are conserving energy at home and school, investing in energy efficiency, going solar, sharing their successes with friends and neighbors, and volunteering for the SBEP. The municipality is investing in solar energy and efficiency. And we are having fun with another year of Vermontivate. Cheers to a great team!

Yes, launch at City Hall on Green Up Day. I'll be there after I look for a used bike at one of the bike swaps.

I had a great time at green up day last year and I think it would be even more fun if we all did it as a team. (Then we could get some team points!)

I've really enjoyed the Community presentations at the library. So many great ideas presented. I thought about how "solar ready" homes could be adopted in South Burlington after the presentation by UVM college students, who were so eager to make a difference in the world. While I was listening, I could think of so many objections to what they were proposing, but the idea has a lot of merit. I was thinking, "Well, the developers are not going to go along with this." Instead, I told them that it would be great to survey recent home buyers to find out if they would have paid, say $500 or $1000 more if their house was ready to have photovoltaic panels installed with no physical limitations so often found in existing homes. This could really help change developers and realtors minds about solar ready communities if there is actually an unmet need. I hope more people attend these programs. They are very worthwhile, even if you think you know all about this already. I've been doing sustainable architectural design for 30 years, and I still learn new things every day.

Hey team, I am sorry to say that I will not be making it this evening. On the other hand, I support our getting moving on this challenge... I was recently asked to volunteer with my company on Green Up Day, but I am now thinking it would be good for our team to represent in SB. Let me know what you think!

Hi team! We need to do some teamy-type things! Like hold a launch party! Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I thought it might be nice to do it at the beginning of the upcoming event at the South Burlington Community Library on Monday, April 13th. We could do it at 6 pm, have some treats, take a picture, and then let people go if they don't want to stay for the presentation... Or, stay and get some points for coming to a team event!! We need to start racking up the points, as we could win $1000 for playing! Think of what we could do with that!

I agree a launch party is necessary! The Monday 4/13 event starts at 6, so we should do the Vermontivate team launch at 5:45 and be done by 6.

I love this true story... There was one class in a school that was so unruly, so hard to handle, that it went through 6 teachers in 1 year. The principal was so tired of the revolving door of teachers, that he didn't even meet with the 7th teacher, to try to tell her about her class or what to expect. The secretary just gave the new teacher the student register and sent her into the classroom. Within a few weeks, the principal was surprised to find the teacher was still at the school. And he was even more surprised to go by the classroom and find it quiet, no screaming, no acting up... just students studying and learning. The kids would now line up to go to lunch, they were orderly... the entire classroom had changed. After a month, the principal called the new teacher in for a meeting and asked how she managed to tame the worst set of students he had ever had to deal with. The teacher replied, 'I don't know what you are talking about. I think you have mistaken my class for another class. I was given the class of gifted and talented students.' The principal replied, 'No, I haven't made a mistake. Your class has had 6 teachers this year!' She persisted, 'Look at the register, here you can see all their IQs. They are off the charts!' The principal looked at the register and said, 'Those are their locker numbers.' The teacher had thought the best of her students and brought out the best in them...
