Welcome

Hi and welcome to my new blog on environmental news in the East Bay. I decided to start this blog because I think several people are tired of me emailing them about the environment. I know what a hassle it is when "friends" take advantage of the fact that they have your email address to send you stuff. I don't really mind it because I'm used to it. But, I suppose some people get annoyed. Also I formerly posted environmental stuff in my personal blog (kentlewan.blogspot.com) and I think this was starting to annoy some of my friends who don't share my concern / enthusiasm for the environment. So, I am starting this blog, with the purpose of having a once-a-week (more or less) update on local environmental news and controversies for any and all to read. Hopefully I get some subscribers.

There seems to be a lot happening in the Eastbay right now, with the Cal BioScience institute, Port of Oakland vs. all its neighbors, and global warming action events all happening simultaneously. I will try to provide a quick and easy-to-read update on the latest trends + events. Thanks for reading-

Kent
