Happy Earth Day

I love how there are more new and ingenious ways to save the earth every day. And you don't even have to get off your patootie or spend a single sent to accomplish these ones.

Now, I'm as Google-dicted as the next person, but try using this search engine, at least for a day. Ecocho is partnered with Yahoo and they're planting trees with the revenue coming in from the ads. So the more you use them to do your searching, the more trees get planted, and the more greenhouse gases are offset. Apparently, Google was working with Ecocho at first, but have since stopped. I don't know why. But I emailed them a nasty letter here: adsense-support@google.com and suggest you do the same, if you're a Google user.

There's also this from the Earthday Network:

Tell your leaders to act before the heat hits the fan

You know how we always talk about how politicians aren’t doing anything to stop climate change? NOW is the time for us to make them change their ways. Earth Day Network has drafted a petition demanding that Congress act to solve this crisis, and to solve it fairly.

Join me in signing up Earth Day Network's online petition, at:

See? Now you can feel good about doing a little something for Earth Day this year.
