Green Jobs. Good Jobs.

Its time for another PopCity Live.  I attended the first of the PopCity Live series and was really impressed.  Every month or so, the folks from PopCity Media put together a group of local of experts on a particular topic for a panel discussion and questions from the audience.  This is a great chance to learn about some really interesting people and things in Pittsburgh.  The events are FREE and are followed by a free reception with some tasty treats.  I can say this is one of the best events I attended last year.   Please rsvp ahead of time (just send an email to rsvp@nowall.com) so they can have a name tag ready for you when you arrive.

I think this panel on Green Jobs is going to be really interesting.  Pittsburgh has a great opportunity to be a green city, and there are already a lot of people working on that now.  I have had the opportunity to get to know Nathaniel Doyno in the past few years and I know he has been doing some really great things with Steel City Bio Fuels.  The other panelists look very interesting too.

more things to do tonight

1.
Traditional fuel. It’s…

Bad for the environment.

A foreign-relations headache.

And getting much more expensive.

But what are our other options?

Join us for Green Drinks this Friday at Phipps Conservatory from 5:30 to 7:30pm for a discussion on the great advances in bio-diesel and other local alternative fuel options with our hosts Steel City Bio-fuels, United Oil Company, and the PA Dept. of Environmental Protection.

And after our discussion, Steel City Bio-fuels will give a live demonstration on how they make bio-fuel!

2.

Join us for a Goodbye Party for the Mon-Fayette Toll Road, in the heart of Braddock, through which the road would heartlessly raze. We’ll gather at Mayor John Fetterman’s front yard (or the First Presbyterian Church next door near the corner of Braddock & Library, should it rain) for a potluck and lively conversation (8:00 p.m.) That means you should bring some food or snacks to share, and bring your own drinks. We’ll have the basics. There will be an outdoor pottery firing going on at the Carnegie Library (if you want to, for example, burn some Turnpike Commission literature).

When night falls, we’ll process to the Ohringer Building (640 Braddock Ave.) for the unveiling of an art installation (writ large: NOMFX) and a major announcement about the Toll Road you won’t want to miss! We may even pass the hat a little: we need to start the Toll Road Retirement Fund.

Let’s rally. Let’s party. Let’s kiss the Toll Road goodbye!

This FRIDAY July 21, 8:00 pm
Mayor John Fetterman’s Place
Library Street off Braddock Ave
