TONIGHT:
CHESAPEAKE CLIMATE ACTION NETWORK EVENT

Tuesday, Dec. 10
The Metropolitan

Sponsoring Organization
details to come
In the spirit of "Giving Thanks" Annapolis Green is thankful for time to re-group, and gear up for the holidays! We're Fast Forwarding.... to the Holidays!
Enjoy YOUR time in November and save the date for the next Green Drinks: Tuesday, Dec. 10.
The last two years we've been fortunate to kick off Midnight Madness at Historic Inns. But, in keeping with our change-it-up mentality, we felt it time to do something different, to include a bit of "recycling" at the same time. So, save the date... and your old, energy-gulping holiday lights. We've got an idea about what to do with them. Stay tuned!

Maryland Crossroads 2013 Tour: Clean Energy, Not Cove Point! Tonight, Nov. 5
7:30-9 p.m.
Broadneck High School, 1265 Green Holly Drive
Annapolis
 Come join the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and learn about a plan to build a plant to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) out of Cove Point, on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland. That's right - the fuel would be pulled out of this region - potentially Maryland too - piped across the Mid-Atlantic region and likely increase fracking because it would create an easy way to export the gas. Read more. We'll be there too, and we're slated to receive an award from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network during the event.

We Greened the MRE Tug of War!
 We more than filled up a whole dumpster full of recycling and the MRE encouraged reuse by taking $1 off each beer when people brought the cup back for a refill instead of asking for a new cup. And Annapolis Green is one of the benefiting charities in this year's tug!
By the way, the MRE won over Annapolis, 4 tugs to 2. Now in it's 16th year, the Tug was a blast!

CNN Presents "Pandora's Promise"
The atomic bomb and meltdowns like Fukushima have made nuclear power synonymous with global disaster. But what if we've got nuclear power wrong? An audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, Pandora's Promise asks whether the one technology we fear most could save our planet from a climate catastrophe, while providing the energy needed to lift billions of people in the developing world out of poverty.
 Our radio program, Living Green in Annapolis, will address a new type of nuclear power tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 6. Tune in at 6 p.m. on WNAV, 1430AM or 99.9FM or streaming at wnav.com. Information
