Pinoy Aboard Veggie Car story GMA 7 - Manila

We got in the TV news. Ricky and the folks at Gammad Auto in Lipa City were interviewed for a story that fell far short of our hopes. Here is the print article. There is nothing of the social or environmental implications of our work. Oh, well, conte conte lang. Little by little.

Another reminder to me that revolutions are not built by waiting for mainstream news teams to think your idea is timely or important. They'll catch on eventually later when things have built more. Now, we need to work out supply issues and get people who are reselling oil as carcinogenic cooking oil to sell it to Jeepeny Drivers instead where it is much less carcinogenic.

In other news, the SF Municipal Transporation Agency surveyed a 30% increase in the number of people biking to work since 1 year ago! That's just beautiful! Read the Reuters story here.

Bikes outnumbered cars on Market street earlier this week! Wow!

Time to get back to rest, chill and drill, that's my mantra. I am far behind everyone else in my language program, but I just keep saying to myself that this is fun, this is cool, and getting more used to the absolute discomfort of learning so much all at once.
