September 27 and 28 was a wonderful busy weekend with the Green Jobs events. I spoke Saturday night about green jobs and the climate at Life Alive in Lowell. It felt really good to talk about green jobs and their critical role in helping to solve our social, climate, and economic problems. We enjoyed the music and the speakers. On Sunday, I went to the Green Jobs event in Boston, which had been rescheduled from Saturday. I didn't get a chance to speak at that event, but did get involved in some cool stuff like pedaling a bicycle generator so that some great bands and others could play and speak. I picked up a lot of information at both events and saw some familiar faces and made some new connections. It's great sharing thoughts and ideas with others. Props to the organizers and volunteers - they really did wonders pulling off the events despite the inclement weather. They really are a dedicated bunch. Thanks also to Van Jones and Green For All and the sponsors 1Sky, We, and all the other great organizations that helped to make it possible. Ready for next steps!

Green on,
Tom Thompson
