Hey there, in case anyone reads this. I haven't updated in a long time, so I'm going to rectify this right now and talk about what I've been up to politically

If/when you get around to doing solar thermal (rather than PV) let me know. I was just at the ASHRAE trade show, and saw a really cool solar thermal setup that's designed for integrated domestic hot water and space heating. That's something that I have traditionally said is not practical, or not worth doing (too complicated, for too little return) but they have a solution that might well change all that. Details when/if you want them.
For junkmail, use Catalog Choice. They rock. Much easier than contacting everyone individually. (Of course, you also want to sign up with the DMA, etc on their do-not-mail list, but that only cuts out maybe half of the junkmail.)
For ethical meat, Dawn recommends checking out the Eat Well Guide. BTW, we recently got to see Joel Salatin speak, and are now more impressed than ever with his methods. I've joked about his beef being carbon negative, but I actually am starting to think that it might really be true. He's building a lot of soil in the process of producing his beef, and he said that diesel is less than 5% of his farm's operating costs (50%+ is typical).
