Video hug + $200K, USA! cheerleading routine
VIDEO at bottom of page.
In this badly shot, horribly lit self-edited video, I give you a preview of your promised street hug and I revive my middle school cheerleading career.
Hopefully it will scar in your mind your new mantra for the next 4 days: $200K, USA! $200K, USA!
I also give a very calm explanation of why we really, really, really want to make the new windowfarms in the US and not anywhere else. (No offense to Windowfarmers outside of the US, but this is something we Americans need to do for ourselves here in the States.)
More update-y updates:
- Your holiday welcome cards are in the works!!
- The unanticipated airing of my talk on TED.com brought in 3,000 new D-I-Y windowfarmers and tinkers-for-the-planet in one week (um, hence the late update). They are busy cooking up batches of homemade nutrient solution and taking on tons more exciting projects, from which you are sure to benefit soon, over at our.windowfarms.org.
- Treehugger (lovingly) implies that you are all "clumsy people with short attention spans." In other words, you're sophisticated and have good taste, right? Thanks for the love, Graham!
- Inhabitat refers to your thumbs and the impending increase in their green factor.
You've got your marching orders for the weekend: $200K, USA! $200K, USA!
Go! Share this (http://kck.st/newwindowfarms) like there's no tomorrow!
Thank you!! Happy Friday night!!

Britta will you have light systems being designed for these as well that will be well fairly economical? That is the reason I made my first window farm A friend turned me on your sight when I was asking about the aero garden on facebook. I came to your site and bam I was hooked then you post these (ok here goes a guy card) The gorgeous well designed new window farms and this method of being able to help you and I was all over it. OH YEAH LOVE YOUR VIDEO LOL Marcus Denver Colorado

The video was totally worth waiting for. Britta, you clearly rock! I'm incredibly excited about my windowfarm (I can't wait to start turning my apartment green!) and about the possibility of having the most eco-friendly USA production possible. In fact, I've been checking the new pledge total many times a day, like a kid shaking the presents under the Christmas tree to see what she's going to get. And I'm definitely being a cheerleader for the project whenever/wherever I can be. (And Happy Birthday to you too!)

Claire-
Kickstarter won't let me move the video up. Hopefully, if you link to this page, ppl will see the first line directing them to the video at the bottom.
