The group Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment is asking for volunteers to help keep the green in St. Patrick’s Day. Well, not exactly the Irish green — but the environmental green.
On March 17, ACE is holding its third annual Green Living Expo from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Washington-Lee High School. The event focuses on helping residents find practical ways to “green up” their lifestyles. Visitors will find green living seminars, a variety of local and national exhibitors, children’s activities, a raffle, sustainable eating food sales and cooking demonstrations.
The expo is free and open to the pubic, but the event is still short on volunteers. Extra help is needed from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., organizers say. Anyone who wants to lend a hand can get more information by calling 703-228-6427.

Thanks for the invite, but I plan to be green around the gills on St Patty’s Day.
You’ll be wasted by 4 pm?
Hi Drax– if you were anywhere near P Brennans on St Patty’s day last year, people were getting wasted by noon.
If only Pol Pot could volunteer. Alas, he is busy challenging Jim Moran for his seat in congress.
As an Irish man living in Arlington, I cringe every time I see or hear the words ” St Patty’s Day ” !!!!!
Can someone tell me where and how Saint Patrick’s Day changed to St Patty’s Day ????
I never heard that term until I moved here 2 years ago.
It’s slang. Patty is often a nickname for Patrick.
Paddy. Not Patty.
Yeah well Paddy would be short for Pádraig….not the English version…..Patrick.
I guess . . . I’ve never heard of “Patty” as short for anything but “Patricia.”
I think if you are writing St. Patty’s Day…..you write it that way. Since it’s slang I guess you can type it however the F you want to….right?
Again, Patty is short for Patricia, Paddy is short for Patrick. But you’re always right, I can tell.
I was being nice until your decidedly snide remark. And of course that wasn’t an ad hominem flying now was it? Projection.
Your name should be lace-curtain irishman.
Nitey nite.
You were being nice?
You were being your usual, obnoxious, incredibly self-important self, is what you were being.
Time for a fistfight between drunken Irishmen!
Whatever d-bag. I think you’re projecting. Otherwise you wouldn’t have chimed in with your original “correction.”
ok, man, I stop when the ad hominem insults fly. You win.
See above
I like your tactics though. Contradict someone on a very debatable issue, call THAT person a know-it-all, and then accuse that person of letting ad hominems fly. lmao. You definitely are living in the right place!
I wish St. Paddy would make an appearance on and chase the snakes off the comment boards. Enjoy the craic or settle your differences in stereotypical Irish fashion…a bare-knuckle dustup followed by a few pints of rotgut!
Yeah, I’m rarin’ to go. And thanks for spellin’ Paddy right, mate.
I don’t think the latter would happen with a lace-curtain Irishman who lives in the denial of his own pretense. But I can wish.
Pssst – I know you’ve only been around for a little while, but you might want to look around and realize you’ve already painted yourself into a corner – biggest d-bag on ARLnow. Congrats, it’s a title not easy to win.
Aw…I’m going to scurry off and cry because said that to me! lmao.
(psst: Guess what? I’m not important enough to be all the things you’ve painted me to be….and you are not important either.)
And I just skimmed through some your most recent diatribes…and left a few remarks. I think you might want to check into that “projection” concept since I think you might be working toward that “title” you so generously bestow upon me. haha
If only I was as smart and important as you. Someday maybe it will be.
“Biggest ARLnow d-bag” – that should be the subject of the next morning poll!
U said “pubic”!
“The expo is free and open to the pubic”
I’m so there!
Again this event will take place inside one of the most energy-inefficient buildings I have ever visited. Huge glass windows on interior walls and north-facing walls, 15 foot high ceilings in corridors, no-solar for swimming pool and bathroom water heating.
How about a couple hybrid shuttle buses to/from outlying neighborhoods for this event picking people up people so everyone doesn’t drive one to a vehicle and park over I-66?
