I had a lot of fun today — thanks Glenn!
We went to a street fair at 76th & York where, thanks to Glenn’s work, the nascent Upper Green Side group had a spot. We handed out leaflets with “ten tips for greener city living” and got people to sign up as part of our group. We got a fair number of signups (OK, only 16-17 people, but give us a break, it’s the Upper East Side), and I think 9 signatures on the petition for bike lanes on the UES.
And we handed out about 100 “ten tips” leaflets, which have the website on the other side. Apparently “Fight Global Warming” is a good marketing pitch.
It was fun talking to people about what they thought was good for the environment and the community, and encouraging that a fair number of people were interested in changes. A lot of people just smiled and nodded, or were gaping vacantly, but hey, that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Good work, Glenn!
And then I went home and watched Prison Break. Lord only knows why…
Hey, thanks for coming out. I think this is why people are a little freaked out about global warming.
