I attended a SolarBC workshop in Kelowna last Friday. I was very glad to be there and met some interesting people who are very proactive and interested in sustainability. One person, Ken Kunka, president of Flywheel Building Solutions, sent me this web site www.greensantabarbara.com It’s great! Check it out! It’s inspiring and shows what we could do here in Kelowna!

Finally some news from us at thispreciousplanet.com Immediately after our official launch on March 11 at the Okanagan Health Forum, we had some challenges to overcome. However, we are ready to roll again. I have been collecting some interviews and have many ideas for new ones. Also, I’d like to hear from our readers to see what kind of topics you are interested in and would like to see covered. I’m not making any promises at this moment as to when a new interview will be posted but it will be soon. Thanks for being patient. Alice
