Earth Day 2011 Observations
A few thoughts on Nashville's Earth Day festivities...
- The gathering seemed large to us. We are not fans of crowds. We went to the Park early and left in a couple of hours when the crowds began to form.
- Food vendors lined the food alley; but they were mostly the same food vendors that attend any festival.
- The transportation area seemed to have less vehicles than before. The ReCharge Car company was represented. They do electric conversions.
- The outdoors grouping had various booths representing hiking groups, trails, natural areas, parks, and greenways.
- The food and farming area was huge. Good news for Nashville, the local farming community is growing.
- Solar energy and green building seemed to have more businesses represented.
It was good to see the green community is still growing in Nashville. We picked up a lot of information to browse at home and we are already looking forward to next year.
Easter Candy Fun
Sam Venable had a funny article in KnoxNews on the Easter candy, Peeps. The link to the Peeps research site is worth a visit.
Happy Easter.
