Happy Political Conventions Week! From the chair POTUS to Bill Clinton, John Kerry & many more discussing sustainability plans, it’s been a fun week to watch the election. (I even found my own chair #Clinteastwooding with Skinny Bitch.) What else did you miss?

• Talk about the future of our country: Last week, Mitt Romney mocked Climate Change in his RNC speech. Now, Romney’s spokeswoman promoted climate change denial for Exxon. Get those green ballots ready!
• Got plans for Sunday? Come visit Green Philly Blog and tons of local vendors & enjoy a sustainable beer garden, organic food, music & fun at Greenfest Philly on Sunday!
• Not sure why BPA is bad? Check out why in the New York Times.
• Everyone’s saying that Organic has been a marketing scheme and the Stanford Study proved it. We explained why organic still matters, as did MNN, HuffPo, Forbes & more!
• In case you missed it, Julie talked about the pros & cons of flawed produce over at Healthy Bitch Daily.
• Antithesis of all things green Koch Company pulled their repub ads from PA… and I’m pretty sure I know where they put them…
• H&M is starting to phase out PFCs from its clothing in a pledge to release ZERO hazardous chemicals by 2020.
• Happy 40th, Clean Water Act!
• To balance out the good we’re doing, here’s 7 ways we’ve F-ed up the planet.
