Green crowd at Obama rally

If you've begun to wonder where the environment fits into a campaign in which references to green are more likely to be about money than renewable energy, I'm here to tell you the movement is still there.
As Leesburg Today reported, the economy and the environment ranked among the top concerns of participants at the Obama rally in Leesburg, Virginia, yesterday. I was lucky enough to be able to do the green thing and walk to the event, as it was down the street from my house. After three hours in line, my 3-year-old daughter and I found ourselves a few feet away from where the presidential hopeful would stand and amid a small sea of green scarves waving in the crisp autumn air.
After two hours of hanging out with a bunch of pretty cool people, things got started. During his brief time at the podium, Gov. Tim Kaine even gave a shout out to the scarf-toting bunch. And their cheers were abundant when Obama mentioned creating green jobs and pursuing alternative energy sources.
So, there you go. Remember to vote in 12 days. And, if you want to brush up on where the candidates stand on the environment, check out my fellow blogger's previous post on the subject.
