Mission Statement and Manifesto 15 & 16

Wow...

"We are going to do this by..."

The basic mission we have set for ourselves is a big one, but far from impossible. In fact, it is because it is a big dream that I believe it is possible. This is when we decide to run towards this dream; this is a place we begin to make informed decisions. This means we have to do research.

Our first step requires we look for others who are trying to do similar things- especially those people who have created institutions (groups of people working together towards a common goal). If they've been doing it for a while, they have an epistemology (knowledge+knowing) that would help us on our voyage. Since the school's budget is...mmm...lower than we would like, they will need to come to us. We need to collect the phone numbers, emails, and addresses of these institutions so we can contact them later. Here is how you search:

Below, I provide you a list of search terms, separated by commas. Each of these terms should bring you information that would be helpful in our pursuit of a more sustainable, earth-friendly future. The best way to search is to hit "Ctrl+t" on your keyboard to create a new tab. Then you can go back and forth between a search engine and this blog. Add the words "Albuquerque" or "New Mexico" to see if there are any local institutions that support this work. 
WRITE THE ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, WEBSITE, AND EMAIL INFORMATION FOR EACH OF THESE COMPANIES ON YOUR OWN SHEET OF PAPER. 
Start at the end, or the beginning, or the middle...it does not matter. Just start! GO!!!!!
