Let's talk! The term "Going Green" has become more of a lifestyle than a phrase for some people in our area. From Columbia County where one man is using wind power for electricity to Wayne County where a woman opened a store, The Giving Tree, to give back to her community and then in Lackwanna County where one high school student started planting greens to raise money for his senior project.
All of these intances are not just examples, but inspirations. It amazes me everyday that these people do all of this on their own. Just yesterday we did a story about Scranton's Farmer's Market. Charlie Miller is one of the farmers in the area that contributes his produce to the market and he says that his family has been a part of the market for nearly 70 years. That's what I call dedication. And then the girlst hat work for him- Alea Murphy started when she was eleven and eleven years later she is still there, summer after summer in the sun and heat, picking peas and everything else.
I find myself searching for these people in our area, but it seems every time I stop looking, I stumble upon someone with an even better story than I ever expected. Sooooo, tell me more. I want to know everythign GREEN that is going on in on area....and don't be shy!
