Hey everyone
- Eco Andersonville has updated there activity list on their website. New information includes a survey, information on the Andersonville Business Certification Program, First Free's Block party on Sept. 13, and more Green tips.
- A Fresh Squeeze has recently written articles on the importance of shopping locally. Conveniently, they reference a study done on this issue by the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce (above.) As far as eating at restaurants serving local food, they highlight Bistro Campagn, a Lincoln Square eatery.
- I am seeing more and more blue carts in Chicago's alleys. Thank you Chicago!
- Wikipower is in a partnership with The Peggy Notebaert Museum and A Fresh Squeeze. The partnership exists to provide funding for the museum's educational programs. For every person that signs up to A Fresh Squeeze's email update list, the blog will donate $0.25 to The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum! You will receive up to date information on environmental issues in the Chicago area and be helping one of Chicago's top environmental resources. So please take a moment to go to my donation page and sign up. The list of donors is growing and money has already been sent to the museum.

Chicago's leap forward
Hey
As everyone knows, Chicago has always tried to become the premier spot for urban environmentalism and it has succeeded in many ventures like the parks program and the like. One of the glaring missteps of the program has been its inability to provide a workable recycling program together (see previous blog) for its residents.
But I am here to tell you things are changing. The city has listened to us and has put the money and man power to grow the local recycling program! Please read the full story below but I am really happy about the city adding up to 90,000 more blue carts to the program. That more than doubles the recycling capacity of this program. Congratulations to local environmentalists and Chicago's Department of Environment! I would recommend sending out an email to the city's DOE thanking them and giving continued support for their efforts!
