Last year the NJ environmental community's first annual Environmental Lobby Day was a huge success. Hundreds of concerned citizens from all over the state visited over 100 legislators. Please check back with us for further updates. The new date will be posted as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this rescheduling has caused.
Many people start the new year with upbeat resolutions of conquest and accomplishment.
The 30-odd people who met yesterday on a snowswept beach in Queens considered it the better part of wisdom to start with a failure. Their ostensible goal was to signal across New York Bay to another group in New Jersey that was doing the same thing at the same moment - 10 minutes past noon. This was the 20th New Year's Day in a row that the members of the American Littoral Society, a private coastal protection group, have tried this. Carrying several large household mirrors and a flare mounted on a bamboo stick, they hiked the beach to the appointed place, near Breezy Point, then waited for the appointed time. On the New Jersey side, the results were just as splendidly uneventful, shore signalers there said.
