as i clicked around on the San Jose Mercury news i found one article that realllllyyyy peeked my interest. the solar industry is one of the best booming regions in the economy at this time. even though there has been a huge slump in the economy the industry seems to be doing just fine. the amount of companies that we are seeing are increasing every day. "California is 70 percent of the solar market," said Jeff Wolfe, GroSolar's CEO. the reason why i picked this article to write about is becasue this is an industry that i would like to be involved in some how one day. i believe what Jeff Wolfe was saying was true. i mean with the world and the country especially California wanting to "go green" it will be the next industry to boom. one day i would perhaps like to work in this industry. i think that within the next 20 to 30 years that this industry will really just blast off. the green industry will be generation Y's future. if everything goes as planned for me, getting into this indusrty before it booms will mean LOTS of money coming up in my late 30's to 40's. as i looked up to company GroSolar i found that they were connected in a number of jobs including a job at Feneway park. they put there solar water heating and incorporated into the water system where the world renowned Boston Red Sox play. the solar water will be used in the restaurants and on the field and supply the park with gallons of water every day.

wayyyy to long!!!!!!????!!!!????
my impression from this text book makes me wanna stab myself in the eyes. i am sorry but it is just the way i feel. i feel like i am on the im falling asleep as i read. when i read i find when i read i am reading for no point. the stories that are in this book seem to be wayyyyy to long and mostly repetitive.the drag on and on to get the point across. the take 12 pages that really could be condensed into 3. anyway thats my venting for the day. although i dont much care for the reading i did read it none the less. a story that is 12 pages long on advocacy??? cool. i got the point of the story within the first three pages. it seemed to me to be a little unnecesarry to drag that article out that long. do you guys feel the same?? just a little reflection on the text book so far. k really im done now.
the story about Beck to me didnt even really compare to the story of the AVODAH. they seemed like completely different types of Advocacy. the AVODAH didnt protest. they simply hepled kids in the community that they were in. Beck on the other hand protested and travleled around the country to help get her point across. the one thing that did interest me in this article was that she was studying at Cal Berkeley. i felt as though her point was to help developing countries that wasnt her point. she was more concerened with taking down the big businesses, not with helping the groups in the small countries. this is why the two groups seem so different to me. the differences in the people i found that the poeple in the second story were just hippies from around North America. the other story, about AVODAH were mostly more "normal" people who gave up their time to help the organization. the differences in the people that they are helping is that; AVODAH's organiazation is helping people in their community, people who are close, with in U.S. borders. where as Beck's organization was trying to help third world countries and people who live in the U.S. most likely do not have a direct connection with. the way they shape their advocacy seems similar and different at the same time. they both are fighting for something they believe in but ones more of and actual organization and the other is just kind of a group that tries to tell people about their program as they go along, and hope that they can get supporters as they travel around the country.
