[SustainableTompkins] off topic but interesting Web site

[Marian Brown]

The Center for a New American Dream IS a tremendous resource, Tom. 
Sustainable Tompkins hosted a master class with CNADs former executive 
director, Betsy Taylor, who still harbors "warm fuzzies" for Ithaca and 
our sustainability work. And the annual Alternative Gift Fair was 
originally the brainchild of the Center for a New American Dream; we've 
just been blessed with some tremendously capable and passsionate folks 
locally who have taken up the project and made it now the largest, most 
successful such AGF in the nation.

CNADs guidance on how to opt out of junk mail is especially useful.
