He and a few colleagues have created a new environmental non-profit organization that helps bring the public together with local (And eventually national?) environmental groups. This is similar to what ETSY is for artists in that it provides a 'home base' for many small environmental groups who don't have the means or manpower to do self promotions.

Here's a link to a few examples of an Ode. I just thought why not praise Thanksgiving. There are a few different rhyme scheme, so we can choose to make it ababcdecde etc. or ababcde. We can already choose how many stanzas we want and keep to a specific theme about describing weather and things we're thankful for in life. Anyone interested?
