I was encouraged by the number of people that attended the recent Greening of Memphis meeting at the Botanic Gardens. I was mostly working the Sharetheroadmidsouth.org booth, so I wasn't able to circulate much. I must have talked to a hundred people-- I got there around 4:30 and didn't stop talking with people until they threw us out at 8:30 or so. I was worn out. It was great fun, and I think some good things will come of it.

More biking, more often, by more people, more safely = greener, leaner, cleaner Memphis.

Carol Coletta of NPR's Smart City was a speaker. The show was kicked off by Joe Royer, owner of Outdoors and an avid biker and kayaker. 3 mayors were there. Standing room only-- 600-700 people.
