Here are some of the best photos sent in from Moving Planet Day in Amherst. Riders started from the Mount Tom power plant, a coal-burning plant that epitomizes the type of energy production we would like to phase out. Walkers started from the site of the proposed solar farm in Hadley, epitomizing what we would like to phase in. Both joined at the Amherst Common where many others, including the Raging Grannies, gathered to sing and chant and talk with one another about the need to Move the Planet.
