Salmon ain’t running like they used to, the western United States is on fire and the Seattle Times newspaper which is printed on paper which is probably made from trees is writing about the devastating effects of clear-cutting. Surely, the time to act is now. This Sunday’s Imagine Capitol Hill sustainability festival can be your rally point. Hopefully — god, please — they were able to find those stilt walkers.
Imagine Capitol Hill sustainability festival E Thomas Steet & 10th Avenue E Next to the Broadway Farmer’s Market Sunday, July 20, 2008, 11am – 4 pm Free & open to the public

- Ideas and Demonstrations on sustainable living including greening your home, native planting, composting, alternative transportation, and more

Looking forward to the event. Have met a few of the good people involved with Sustainable Capitol Hill, the organization putting on the event, and have heard how much work it’s been organizing and drawing the various pieces together to make this happen. Try to swing by if you can on Sunday and help start a new tradition on the Hill.
