Day 18: June 16

This morning, Lorraine and I went to the Earth Island Institute in Berkeley. They are located in the David Brower Center, which is an energy efficient building. It is absolutely amazing! They even use rainwater in the toilets to be more sustainable! Lorraine and I had a meeting about our fiscal sponsorship application and how to improve it in order to help with the grant-writing that I will be doing later this summer. It was a very informative meeting, as we discussed our Advisory Committee, budget, and goal.

After the meeting, Lorraine and I went to Chinatown to buy Egg Tarts and Steamed Buns because today is Jing's Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JING!!

Egg tarts are Jing's favorite dessert and we wanted to do something special for her. She really appreciated it! All the interns sang to her and enjoyed the treats together. Later that night, Jing and Lorraine went to a lecture at The Long Now on Clear Fusion Energy. She said it was really cool and Ed Moses explained that they are very close!
