Ready? Okay, here it goes ... I have never surfed ... |

I spent all day yesterday on Catalina Island with the rest of the Surfrider Foundation staff as we mapped out our work plan for 2000. It was a beautiful day and we got a lot accomplished.

And Jenny Pitrizoni pulled my hair and said that I was ugly … Oh, wait … wrong diary. I'll start again.

Today I will write about Haida Gwaii, after yesterday's photo teaser. First, what is it? The islands now popularly called Haida Gwaii (the traditional name given them by the Haida people) have long been shown on maps as the Queen Charlotte Islands. They form an arrowhead-shaped landmass ... |

| Matthew Follett is campaign director for the Green House Network in Portland, Ore. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Friday, 24 Sep 1999 PORTLAND, Ore. In a number of ways, putting together a benefit concert is like trying to tackle the problem of global warming. There are so many intangibles that need to be dealt with and yet can't be. In the end, all you can do is put together the pieces as well as possible and hope that everything works out. The parallel cont ... |
