☞ RIDE: Pedicabs on FDB for Earth Day

Sunday, April 22nd, 11:00AM-3:00PM, SHARE Pedals for Clean Air on Earth Day, FDB between 110th to 125th Street. SHARE (Safe, Healthy, Affordable and Reliable Energy), in collaboration with local Harlem restaurants, churches, pastors and prominent Elected officials will celebrate Earth Day by offering free Pedi cab rides to Harlem residents. Join SHARE, bring friends and the children, and share in the Pedi cab experience and other, clean, alternative modes of transportation.

"Though the calendar calls for Earth Day to occur once each year, it is imperative that we comprehend and execute the full meaning of this day ... 365 times each year.” says Frank Fraley, President of SHARE. Fraley continues, “SHARE applauds the efforts of those recognizing the severe health impacts of dangerous air pollutants. We must seek to improve the quality of our air and recognize the importance of existing clean sources of energy, including the Indian Point Energy Center. Without the clean and affordable energy Indian Point produces, the health and well being of our residents, especially the elderly and the young will be at greater risk.

  1. Am I the only one skeptical that a group that is affiliated with Indian Point would be remotely qualified to participate in anything associated with a healthy Earth?

  2. Wow. I must say that whatever reservations I may have had about Indian Point's NRC relicensing process have now been persuasively answered by this exercise in community relations. Bravo, guys.

    Tectonics schmectonics. I'm sure the thing'll easily hold up for another 40 years. And if during that period they run out of chain-link-fenced-off space for storing the radioactive waste, Entergy can always float it on some rafts or barges in the Hudson...
