This Wednesday's meeting of the Upper Green Side will feature WorldChanging pal Ben Jervey, author of The Big Green Apple: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Living in NYC. Ben's book takes on living green in the megacity with good cheer (especially important during December's short daylight hours) and good advice -- on everything from using compact fluorescents to save energy to organizing your neighborhood to save the community garden. Ben will hold forth on his book, urban environmentalism and other topics.

Date: Wednesday, Nov. 29
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: All Souls Unitarian Church, 80th St. and Lexington Avenue
This meeting is free and open to the general public.

(thanks, Glenn!)

(Full disclosure: I gave The Big Green Apple a positive review on Grist earlier this year)
