The weather is looking a bit marginal -- coldish and dampish -- and being outdoors might seem to have less appeal than in the summer, but don't give up on it. Scarves and mittens and waterproof boots will keep you happy all winter long, while you enjoy our changing landscapes and seasons.

Lots going on this weekend, indoors and out. On Friday, businesses have a chance to recycle all kinds of electronic junk for free. Click here for the details. Peter Goldberg's awesome photos of the CSO tunnel project are on display at the Cahalan Gallery on Allens Ave. Click here for all the info. The gallery will be open 4 to 7 this Saturday.

Saturday night, Nov 15, get out and have fun with Save The Bay, to celebrate the new CSO tunnel that's having a dramatic impact on our Bay water quality. The "Light at the End of the Tunnel" Bay Bash fundraising event will raise the roof at the Foundry in Providence. Tickets run from $75 to $250 and include a night of dancing to the English Beat and local band Cobra-Matics. Click here for all of the info, including previews of the band music. And here's what Marc Clarkin, over at Motif Magazine, has to say about the music: "Cut from same '80s Ska meets New Wave cloth as Madness, The English Beat sound like a never-ending conga line going straight to the break of dawn." Click here for Marc's full story. And click here for more about the band, from Projo music critic Rick Massimo.

On Sunday, we're expecting big crowds at URI's Energy Expo. Who wouldn't want to learn all about how to save energy? It's a win-win for our economy and our environment. Click here for all the details.

You can find lots more activities, kid events, workshops, and more at our NNN community calendar. Just a sample -- on Saturday morning, check out the new Sakonnet Greenway Trail in Portsmouth. Also on Saturday, the Environmental Justice League of RI welcomes all to its meeting, in Providence. And don't forget your local Farmers Markets, many are staying open for a few more weeks yet.
