Greenerifick: July 2010

What can be nicer that waking up and discovering that there is a community party outside your house. The streets have closed and it is now an afternoon of walking, biking, children playing, couples strolling, and merchants and community organizations setting up shop. In SF this also means there was a free massage table, hula hoops, bike rentals, and rollerskate rentals, costumes, plenty of homegrown ghetto blasters and even the radio came out to play. This program which has been going on since March floats around the city and will be ending in October and is sure to return next year due to it's undoubted success.

There were drinks and energy bars and snacks for people
Walgreens had a tent? well I'm glad their employees got some Vitamin D while handing coupons and drinks and stress relievers. HAHAHAHAHA
I got to check out the new Bcycle- bike sharing program that was just implemeted in Denver and hopefully will come to SF.
Met a Kevin who designed an electric bike right here in SF - Plugz-rental.com
Checked in with GreenPeace and found out about Teachin marking the 3 month anniversary of the BP spill.
Met a writer for the weekend sherpa a guide to get out in the wild?
met and chatted with the guys at SF Water- which should be something that everyone should be required to tour when moving in to a city or town- go visit the water and trash sites so you know and are grateful for how the system works.
City Car Share
And last but not least About-Face.org an exciting non profit that works on building healthy body image for young women.

What does this mean? well it means that community is vital and having quality time with your family friends, or spending time helping out the organizations that you love means that you can have a happy and healthier lifestyle.
