lessons learned from hawaii

So as some people already know, I think it is important to make individual efforts to protect the environment… think of it as an act of stewardship or, for you selfish ones out there, maybe concern for you own grandkids may instigate you to pick up after yourself, recycle when possible, and not take hour long showers (yes… you caroline).

anyways… in Hawaii I’ve discovered a very interesting, but effective means of being green.  There’s this golf course next to our hotel, and basically, instead of using a machine, these savvy Hawaiians have placed a bunch of goats on the course to serve as a kind of natural lawn mower.  Ingenious, no? The goats get fed, the grass is trimmed, and they provide natural fertilizer… it’s a win win situation!

then again there is the whole possibility of potentially killing a goat with a golf ball…

but, inconsequential in respect to the overall idea. Good job Hawaii!  America, take notes.
