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.

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.
