Melissa McGinnis from Greenopolis.com

This week's episode of The Palm Springs Savant & Co radio show will focus on the environment and sustainable practices that make a difference. Early in the show I'll briefly explore wind power as a renewable energy source, and then later discuss concepts of Renew, Reuse and Recycle to understand how everyday choices you make in life can have a huge impact on the environment. I am excited to welcome Melissa McGinnis as my guest on this week's show. Melissa is a passionate, energetic, young up-and-coming Eco-Advocate working with Greenopolis.com. Melissa's first hand expertise in marketing environmental messages into easy-to-understand concepts led to the popular web based TV show on Greenopolis that she developed. Her show is about converting waste to resources and resource conservation. In each segment Melissa shares useful tips, eco-advice and green stories on Greenopolis TV. Melissa brings her effervescent personality to The Palm Springs Savant & Co show in a way that will captivate and inspire you to begin thinking green.

  4. Kathy, Rhodester (aka Dave) will be delighted to see someone who appreciates his sense of humor. But let's not egg him on, he is already a silly man.

  6. No, egg me on! egg me on! I want a whole omelet!

    Thank you for calling me a "silly man," Rick. I try. Lord knows I try. Life without a laugh isn't life at all. Love without a laugh isn't love, either. And a laugh without life or love is still a laugh but it just isn't as funny. Whereas Love, life and laughing are all great but without each other they're.. uh..

    ..damn, got kind of lost there.
