Is anyone interested in joining me in approaching local businesses to ask them to stop using styrofoam packaging? There are many reasons why styrofoam should not be supported (read more) but it remains the most economical choice for business owners.…

why buy when you can barter? use this space to post goods or services you have, and what you'd like in exchange for them. also post requests if you just need to borrow an item (tools for a weekend project). BARTER, BORROW, OR GIVE!

- How long have you lived in Beacon?
- since September '06
- More about me:
- I think Beacon has so much potential, and I'm glad someone finally put together this social network so we can connect easier and build a stronger community. I love living here, hiking up the mountain, cross-country skiing around Dennings Point, and boating up and down the Hudson. I'm working on a Master's in Media Studies down at the New School in Greenwich Village, but can also sometimes be found working at Manor House Realty on Main down by the dummy light, or studying and drinking coffee at Zuzu's. I'm a yoga junkie (thanks to Shannon & Carla over at Shambhala Yoga Center!), and am determined to accomplish scorpion pose by the end of the year. I love gardening...I just started growing my own mushrooms too (non-psychedelic), and maybe will try chickens if my husband will go for it. I envision a world where we can live off completely the grid, so for now it's a start. I'm a futurist, intrigued by accelerating change and the singularity, and obsessed with technology. Hmm, what else.. always looking to meet new people and make the world a happier place, so feel free to say hello!

Well, the ladies at Manor House Realty are pulling out the stops for a *flurry* of Open Houses around Beacon this Sunday, January 24, from 1:00 - 4:00pm.

How the Real Estate Industry Works
There's a lot of confusion about how the real estate industry works, who's best interests are being served when dealing with an agent, what questions you should be asking, and where the money goes. One of my main goals with this blog is to demystify… Continue

Judith Filc said… - Venessa, I like a lot of the stuff you have to say. I don't have much time between work and an almost-three-year-old, but I do want to do something for the town. We live pretty close to each other, maybe we could meet some time?

Richard O'Neill said… - Hi Venessa--looks like we're going to have rival clean-up gangs! Watch out. Seriously though, one of my intentions was to keep the clean-ups somewhat casual, and brief (1 1/2- 2 hours or so max) so people will have the rest of their day open, and to encourage people to participate on a regular basis. In other words, keep it fun . In theory, we all should do a little on our own on a daily basis (which I try to do.) That being said, I'm open to your suggestions, but would be unable to participate on a week-day. Regards, Rich O'Neill
