					<description><![CDATA[Maddy,

I am so glad you posted, and I am happy to hear that you, your class and your teacher are doing such an interesting topic in class.  There are a lot of interesting new technologies available:  I like to divide then up into 3 categories to help make sense of them all; things that help with power, things that help with water, and new building materials.  Let&#039;s pick just one:  water.  You might know that we are in the middle of a really bad drought.  Conserving water is going to be very important to the future of our state, and our planet.  One really practical thing that most people can install is a dual flush toilet.  An average home with 4 people can use their toilet10 times a day.  If that home uses 1.6 gallons each time it flushes, how much water does it use in a day?  A dual flush toilet can use .9 gallons per flush if you only go number 1.  So if you use your toilet for number 1 half of the time (5) how much water would you save each day?  How much water would you save in one year? (365 days)  How much over 5 years?  Imagine if your whole block did the same thing...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mr. Schmidt,

I&#039;m a fifth grade student at Gardner Bullis in Los Altos, CA. I&#039;m in Sarah Koh&#039;s class. She emailed you and wondered whether you could come in to talk to our class. Anyways, I was wondering if you could maybe tell me some advanced green technologies to help me with my project. In class we&#039;re doing a &quot;Green Project&quot;. Our teacher is very enthusiastic about new green technologies.

Thanks,

Maddy]]></description>
