"If I were punished for every pun I shed, there would not be left a puny shed of my punnish head." -Samuel Johnson
I just love puns, so of course "The Indian Summer" is a pun. We are calling it an Indian Summer for two reasons. First, we got the name from the extremely low gross carbon footprint of India in comparison to other countries, specifically the US. Secondly, we were inspired by the old phrase "Indian summer", which means unseasonably warm weather in the fall, in places where it is typically cold during that time. So we're going to have an "Indian summer-footprint" during the "Indian Summer time"--beginning in mid-August through early November. The time is based off of a few ancient festivals that mark a typical Indian Summer.
Clever? Yes. So if you're interested in joining in some way, look forward to some info on how you can pledge to reduce your carbon footprint in one area (ie water, electricity, food) during that time.

Y'all are just so cool!
