On a recent trip to NYC, we got the chance to sit down with green, community organizer Glenn McAnanama of Upper Green Side. Community organizing can easily become a full time job. Glenn gives us some advice on how to keep meetings sane and get active in local government. Little by little, block by block, community groups like Upper Green Side can start to make green change from the bottom up. Thanks to Amy Stodghill from It’s The Environment, Stupid. for introducing us to Glenn.

yay! Great empowering message.
Brilliant video!
I totally agree with what he said, I finally started videoblogging for vlogweek, and its all about what I could achieve personally, including the use of a device to measure how much power all these different appliances in our homes are using. But Im not very happy with my videos yet. Anyway hopefully I will get better as Im discovering theres plenty we computer users can do to reduce our use of electricity here and there, and it sure adds up over time, as Glenn in your excellent video talks about.
