KPB, Recyclebank and Streets

Happy (sorta) Autumn! We’re psyched for the changing leaves but are still enjoying the short-sleeved transitional weather.

Did you join 310,000 of your closest green friends in Manhattan yesterday? In case you missed it, Grist has a collection of great photos from yesterday’s People’s Climate March.

Friday’s Park(ing) Day brought out Philly fav’s to relax outside and envision more green space in our urban landscapes.

So what can we get excited about for this week? We rounded up this week’s best events for you.
