B'More Green launches
It seems like every day that we at the Sun hear a story about individuals or groups working to make Baltimore or the world a little greener.
They recycle, they pick up trash in their park, they bike to work, they plant a tree.
There are people making bigger moves, like starting eco-friendly businesses, organizing larger events or starting community gardens. Local and state government officials are also taking steps.
We thought we could showcase these people and these events, and bring readers some of the latest environmental news, too.
There will be a few of us posting on this site, B'More Green. We hope you'll read and contribute.
We have a mailbox, bmoregreen@baltsun.com. Don't be shy. We'll wait to hear from you, and in the meantime, we'll be out enjoying some urban greenery (like this spot pictured to the right on the Gwynns Falls Trail).

I was so excited to see a link to this new blog on the front page this morning in the community gardens article. I, too, am excited about the momentum of environmental enthusiasm I've seen in Baltimore recently. It's about time! I look forward to following this blog.

I am very happy to see a 'Green Iniative' supporting blog in Baltimore! Hopefully, the city and the state will promote more awareness about going Green!
I just got back from NC, and that state is already so far ahead

I hope we'll still see Chesapeake Bay issues and smart growth features on this new 'green' blog since you killed the last enviro one!
Tim Wheeler, from the Chesapeake Bay blog, is a co-blogger on B'More Green. So, yes, we plan to continue covering the bay and smart growth features. --MC
