Quick Green Reads For The Weekend Volume 114.

Tomorrow is Taos Cleanup Day, and I will be out working for 4 hours in the morning to clean up trash around town. Of all the places I have lived, this is the single most littered town I have ever been in and it needs all the help we can give it. It’s a shame so many residents don’t care about the way our town looks, but hopefully enough people turn out in the morning to help repair some of the damage. So if you happen to be in Northern New Mexico tomorrow morning, come by Kit Carson Park around 8am and lend a hand! On to the news…

The U.S. may never need to build new nuclear or coal-fired power plants because renewable energy and improved efficiency can meet future power demand, the head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said.

A non-profit from Boston, the Newbury Film Series, launched a series of documentaries this Earth Day. The series is comprised of web vignettes profiling people who derive innovation from excess, who are redefining what we consider waste – recyclers, architects, musicians, retailers, and artists.

Have a great weekend everyone!
