We forgot to talk about this. Ooops. Lets capture momentum after this show is on air.

We will try this as an experiment for the next show.

Press Release
Birgit was put in charge of submitting something to the Chronicle, at least for the Calendar. We didn't discuss having a screening
Climate Stories
Fruitful discussion on possible stories on Carbon Offsetting/Travel, Food Carbon/Travel labelling and Costs, Ethanol production (good and bad). Tim in charge, Rafael interested.
VPRs
Can be related to above Ethanol them, Video Press Releases and their non-news worthiness. Rafael and Tim interested in covering this.
Community input and output
Rafael suggested that next time we film a speaker, we can get feedback from community on their thoughts on the speaker. Matt suggested getting together a panel from the audience to discuss on tape their thoughts afterwards. Rafael also suggested going to groups in the community, MIT and Harvard as a start, to get material and input from them.
Restaurant stories
Tim will help Rafael get sources to get started on these. Green restaurants of particular interest. Rest of group will help as needed.
The Bridge
Matt will go to a Bridge meeting to see if we can report on their next set of themes. We will get ideas (likely to be more community focused) and they will get written reporting from us. Matt has spoken to the Editor and Lloyd on a 3-way call this week to discuss collaboration. Rest of group were positive about idea.
Meeting adjourned around 6.15pm (we started 20 minutes late) but various ongoing activities (see above) followed.
