Rally for RGGI – Highlands Landfills – OWS – Barnegat Bay Spin
Various Issues I Hope to Write On Soon
The Occupy Wall Street movement and various work items have diverted from the blog for the last week, so I’ve got 4 posts backlogged.
But today is too gorgeous a day to spend processing photos and writing.
So, today I’ll  post a few quick photos and text to outline the 4 posts I’m working on in my head as ramble in the woods.
Rally For Reggie (and clean energy)
Environment NJ held a rally for RGGI in Princeton on Thursday.
While I do not support RGGI and have criticized ENGO’s and Democrats for not taking steps to lower the RGGI cap (which its 40% ABOVE current emissions) in passing a recent bill to reverse Governor Chrisitie’s move to exit RGGI, I do support the rally tactics and message in support of investing in clean energy.
Princeton (10/13/11)
Senator Bateman should be ashamed for putting loyalty to Christie above the public interest. Glad to see someone calling him out on this.
Highlands Hike – The Landfill Loop Trail
This article set me out to Roxbury for a field visit to the Fenimore Landfill for photos for a post on why the Highlands Act provided the Council with strong power to influence DEP cleanup of contaminated sites.
You find the darndest things hiking NJ trails – stuff like this:
what the hell are those orange things?
chemical drums, tires, bubble to surface of landfill
Occupy Wall Street is a Movement, Not a Lobbying Firm
Friday, OWS survived as NY City stood down on their planned “park cleansing”. Thousands showed up to support OWS and block that move. Some scenes:
this was taken in the dark, at about 6 am - I kind of like the lousy quality!
And last, of course, I need to respond to more Barnegat Bay bullshit.
More to follow on all this in the next few days.
