‘Green’ Event During Eagles Game Not For Eagles
Last night marked the start of football season, making me extremely happy I have something to do on Sundays now. The Eagles play their first game Sunday afternoon at 1 against Green Bay, who were last good in like 1998 or something. Also on Sunday, the city is holding “GreenFest Philadelphia” from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on South Street Presumably, there will be tailgaiting, the game on a big screen and celebration after the Eagles win. Michael Nutter will be there. Hillary Clinton might even campaign there! Maybe she’ll don a Donovan McNabb jersey and… wait, what? Oh, it’s an environmental event, not an Eagles event. Green on Sundays… and not the Eagles? Is such a thing possible? Oh, but, it’ll still be pretty cool:

I know that GreenFest was three weeks ago already, so I guess we’re supposed to forget about it, but I think the point is we should not.
I firmly believe that Alan Greenspan and many others are right, who say that a lot of the Middle East issues, including wars, are about oil and gas, even more than about politics and religion. If so, serious Green Energy can come none too soon for the world’s peace– as well as for cleaner and healthier living for humans and other species.
GreenFest was great. Our group, Project for Nuclear Awareness, is not usually known as a “Green” group, but in fact we are. Unless we resist both oil and nuclearism, we won’t get our good Green Earth back to where it can and should be.
Cordially,
Ed Aguilar
More on stopping nuclearism– our next speaker is the world security expert, Joe Cirincione, of CAP, the Center for American Progress. Author of the new “Bomb Scare,” Joe is that rare combination– an accessible speaker and writer, who also knows his stuff! (Oct. 22, Downtown Club)
