Nantucket Students For Sustainability

Today was the dedication ceremony commemorating the naming of the Nantucket Public Schools wind turbine in honor of John D. "Jack" McFarland, the schools' longtime facilities manager and champion of the project, who died last year. Thank you to all who attended, especially the McFarland family.

Thanks for the news coverage I&M (see link), and CONGRATULATIONS again to Cape Air/Nantucket Airlines for winning our 2011 Earth Day Award.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!! Today we are presenting our 2011 Earth Day Award to Cape Air/Nantucket Airlines for their commitment to sustainability, having converted their headquarters to a net-zero electricity user with a 258kW array of solar panels on their roof. They are also reducing airplane fuel consumption by 4%. Great job!!!

SNOW delayed our departure, but after 5 hours we got on our way. Arrived in Boston to find out there is a big fire at Miami airport. Delayed again.
