July 25: Night & Day, Walkable Wheaton, Lake Needwood Danger

1. YOU SAID IT >> The Montgomery County Council has officially recognized “Meatless Monday.” Here’s what one Patch commenter, Kay Smith, had to say about the campaign to reduce meat consumption: “Meatless Monday is great- what's NOT to like! I am glad that the Council read and understood the overwhelming scientific support stating that meat reduction- even just one day a week- is good for human health and the environment. It's easy to do, too, and leaves folks with lots of options. It's a no brainer- and I am proud to call Wheaton home!” Do you agree? Read the story on Wheaton Patch and leave a comment.
