Our Aha Moment happened when we realized that we could provide an avenue to showcase community leaders and green options for San Diego residents.

They say if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

Ronnie Das didn’t know the first thing about producing a television show. He had no idea how to use FinalCut Pro, and definitely had no plans to become the host of his own TV show.

Inexperience aside, in just three months, Ronnie launched RDF Productions, interviewed Bill Clinton, and filmed the entire first season of his cable TV show, “How Can I Help?”

Fun fact: The Earth receives more energy from the sun in 1 hour than is used in the entire world in 1 year. It would take roughly 0.3% of the world’s land area to supply all our electricity needs via solar power.

Bias and pride aside, San Diego is setting the scene as pioneers in solar power standards. In June 2007, San Diego was selected as a Solar City by the U.S. Department of Energy because of its commitment to adopting solar technology at the local level.

It’s a beautiful day in Del Mar, with the sun beating down on the joyous crowds of the San Diego County Fair. Amongst the unique eats, novelty nutritionist nightmares, and carnival created entertainment, the big local buzz around the grounds came from Sunday’s Homebrew Competition. With 818 entries, this was one of the largest single day beer competitions in the world!

A seductive, gold-digging temptress struts through a mansion filled with the sound of champagne glasses clinging and artificial laughter from the surrounding guests at this definitively awkward dinner event. Her glowing smile becomes a sinister smirk as the crowd stares at her in utter disgust.

The elephant in the room at this event is her recent marriage to a man easily four times her age with a large fortune, who happens to be the man of the hour. Today is his birthday. However obvious this woman’s intentions, he gains no pity from the crowd – this ruthless business behemoth could write the books on lying, cheating, and stealing (which he did and sold as part of a pyramid scheme in 1981).

Do you ever wonder what the teenage version of yourself would do in any given situation thrown at you? Maybe he would demonstrate some fearlessness and break you through that mental wall you’ve built or often times he might be reckless and crash you into a very real wall. But regardless of whether you secretly house an inner rebellious bad boy or a sweet school boy, the process of maturing takes personal management to control, regulate, and enhance your life. Similarly, a government needs to constantly re-examine its policies to make sure a good idea does not become a financial nightmare. A perfect example of a good theory turned bad policy is The People’s Ordinance of 1919 which continues to provide free refuse collection for certain San Diego residents.

“The more integrated we are with our community, the less likely we are to experience colds, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, depression, and premature death of all sorts.” — Robert D. Putnam, Harvard professor and author of “Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community.”

SAN DIEGO — Numerous studies have proven that being actively involved in community projects and groups can vastly reduce the risks of many physical ailments. In addition to helping stave off illness, volunteering may very well be the key to preserving our environment.

Helping your community doesn’t have to cost you hundreds of dollars or eat up all of your spare time. The show “How Can I Help San Diego” is spearheading a grass-roots effort to help preserve the beauty that is our beachfront oasis.

As I cruise in and out of first gear, occasionally stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the 5 freeway, I have little time to get frustrated – although it would be the opportune moment for frustration. I am simultaneously running late, checking directions, and receiving (illegal) texts to put out fires, all the while trying to avoid the car in front of me. For some reason the driver of said car decides that switching back and forth in traffic is a useful strategy to discover a route or lane no one else on the freeway has yet discovered. As I watch this modern day Magellan angrily shift lanes, I take a moment to relax, laugh, and remind myself this is the game I’m in.

It’s the San Diego usual (bright and sunny) Saturday morning (9-1pm) and walking around the Little Italy Farmer’s Market is a titillating treat for every sense. Colorful sights guide your excited eyes to new visual experiences, mellow music gives you a soothing sound to enjoy a relaxing day, tasty dishes tantalize your taste-buds as you catch a waft of the wonderful smells, delicious tastes begin marinating in your mouth, and with a touch of unique produce, some of which is only available in San Diego, you let your body take a well-deserved vacation.
