Shine On, Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon, the Full Moon that occurs nearest the
autumnal equinox, falls on September 19 this year, just a
few days before the autumnal equinox on the 23rd. It’s
called the Harvest Moon because it delivers more moonlight
in the early evening than other Full Moons do a traditional
aid to harvesters. Usually, the Moon rises later each night,
but near the autumnal equinox, because of the relative posi
tions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun, the difference in time of
moonnse from one day to the next is much less. Since the
Full Moon always rises at sunset, it means that for several
days in the fall, just when the days are starting
to get shorter, our well-lit hours are extend
ed by the light of the Full Harvest Moon.
if the Moon shows a silver shield, he
not afraid to reap your field.

EARTHWISE
Many of our best efforts at
making our vehicles
“earth friendly” simply
aren't good enough Perhaps
we need a completely new
approach to transportation
Here’s one idea from
Copenhagen. The city built a
200-mile network of bike
paths and started a self-serve
program commuters insert a
$3 token to release a bike
from the rack and they get
the token back when they
return the bike. For more
