Peas in a Pod: Three Green Things in Philly

An assortment of green related items in the city came across my screen this week. Here they are, in random order:

Mayor Michael Nutter, or at least his Office of Sustainability has released their plan to make Philadelphia the greenest city in the country. The full report, Greenworks Philadelphia, is available online, as is an executive summary. The Inky had a nice article on it ("Nutter envisions green city by 2015," by Marcia Gelbart 4/29).

Two items now posted on The Next Great City website provide information on the new Green Jobs Training Center. See "A path to a greener life," by Annette John-Hall Inquirer 4/24, and "Get your green collar jobs here," Daily News 3/27. The first 20 students in the weatherization started their 4 week program on April 21st.
