Pitch the City finalists announced!

Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the City of Boston, in partnership with Down:2:Earth (D2E), have announced the Four Finalists in Pitch the City, an open contest seeking the public’s input on making Boston a greener city. The Four Finalists will give a 10-minute live pitch to a jury and Mayor Menino will be there to congratulate the winner.

When & Where: Down:2:Earth on April 5, 2009 at 2pm at the Hynes Convention Center.  Main stage.

The four finalists and their ideas are:
Alexander Lee, Concord, NH: Get more people to hang out (their laundry). Lee, founder and executive director of Project Laundry List, proposes to make air-drying laundry acceptable and desirable as a simple and effective way to save energy. If everyone washed their clothes in cold water and hung them out to dry – you could save up to 15% of your monthly electricity bill. So, how can we get more people to hang out?

Jess Lerner, Brookline, MA: Get a Little Greener! Boston’s public awareness and action campaign Jess Lerner runs Green on the Inside, a green living consulting business in Brookline. What’s her idea for the city to get greener? Make thinking and acting green easy! Her awareness campaign is directed at the public and aims to make it simple for everyone to “Green a little. Change a lot.”  She even has plans to get the Red Sox wearing green socks and asking, “What will YOU do today?” to make Boston a greener city.

John McCavanagh, Boston, MA: Reduce city waste by using reusable water bottles instead of single serving bottled water. McCavanagh’s plan is to purchase reusable Nalgene water bottles through the company’s “Refill Not Landfill Community Sustainability Program,” distribute them throughout the city, and educate residents on the importance of using them instead of disposable plastic bottles. Is this the simple change we need to make a big difference?

Alexandra Reilinger and Mikayla Colson Leaning, Jamaica Plain, MA: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle Mural Project. Best friends and next-door neighbors, Alie (11) and Mimi (12) want to paint murals that will motivate people to practice the three R’s – reduce, reuse, and recycle – at T-stops, on Boston Public Schoolyard walls and on electrical boxes around Boston, with recycling bins placed nearby. They already have the support of Boston’s Youth Mural Crew. Can the power of public art change the way we act?

  13. Leather tends to shrink and get hard if it gets wet, so do your gucci shoes best to keep them dry. If your leather shoes do get wet, let them dry naturally unless you have done it deliberately to shape them to cheap gucci shoes your foot. Your leather shoes will be much more comfortable if you keep them soft as they are intended to be. If your shoes do become hard you will need to cheap gucci sneakers use some wax or polish to make them soft again. Use clear shoe wax or even furniture wax and rub in lightly. If you buy expensive gucci shoes for men leather dress shoes, inquire at the store you buy them gucci shoes on sale as to any special care they may need to keep them in perfect shape.

    The best practice is to use natural products whenever possible to take care of your leather shoes. Harsh chemicals can be damaging to your leather shoes. If they are exposed to chemicals wipe them down as soon as possible with a cloth and warm water then dry and reapply a waterproof sealant.
