Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you probably already know about the G20 Summit meeting taking place today and tomorrow right here in Pittsburgh.

Already, there have been protesters from Greenpeace arrested for doing some dangerous bridge climbing in attempts to hang some protest banners. Luckily, no one got hurt and the police were able to get the protesters down from the bridges safely.

The Pittsburgh Area G20 Rally

The rally Wednesday before the start of the G20 meeting was sponsored by Alliance for Climate Protection, a group founded by former Vice President Al Gore; the United Steelworkers union; and a Steelworkers-Sierra Club coalition and brought in a very impressive crowd of people from all over who were for and against different issues the Summit meeting will be addressing.

Though the G20 Summit is mainly focused on the world economy, many environmental groups feel it is imperative that the economic plans include ways to become a more green world. It has been interesting seeing all the action so far, and I am quite proud our city of Pittsburgh is hosting all of these great people working hard to fix our world’s economic (and environmental) issues. It is quite extraordinary such an important meeting of minds is happening right in our backyard, especially since their decisions will help improve the overall economy and even ripple through the Pittsburgh real estate market.

I am sure while these great minds are in town they will enjoy some of the sites, restaurants and hospitality of the Pittsburgh area.
