Enviromental Day

By Ang:Today was a vocation day, I was fortunate to visit Pueblo Diversified Industries were I met with the CEO Karen Little, Karen and I had a great conversation, I was also able to view the documentation process of the organisation, things were very similar apart from a few funding differences.
The afternoon was set aside for tours of the City County Health Department, this building has just been open and they have designed as environmental and user friendly as possible, it was great to see a large use of recycled products.
The next stop was Colorado State University, this is also a similar building and they have also installed 7,000 solar panels out the back of the campus that supports 10% of the university. All these buildings are able to get LEED certification; this allows them to get cheaper taxes and is a positive step for the environment, we all enjoyed the opportunity to watch a team practice American football.
As we headed home Holly my host was excited to see a new fridge and was relieved she no longer had to buy ice.
Holly has been a pleasure to stay with and has gone out of her way to accommodate the team with a experience of a life time.
Holly made arrangements for me to spend the evening with Emma and her host Jerry, we were treated to a lovely dinner at a Italian restaurant, my choice was not the best pick but “we live and learn” after dinner Jerry took us to a Irish bar and gave us good advice on how to make our first million, and it doesn’t come from the lottery.
Tomorrow we will be heading into Canon City and meeting with new people and experiences, there is still a long journey ahead of us and many more experiences to come.
