Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

More on the president’s global warming speech
Yesterday’s post certainly generated some interest.
More people viewed this blog over the last 24 hours than in the first three days of this week. Whatever your opinions on the topic being discussed, thank you so much for tuning in.
Now on to the topic…
My call for comments on President Bush’s global warming speech generated a couple of interesting comments that appear to fall on somewhat opposing sides of the coin.
Read yesterday’s comments for the full phrasing, but here are excerpts from the commentary:
One reader had some harsh words for the commander-in-chief:
“Nothing he proposed has any tangible or even measurable affect on halting carbon emissions. So it was nothing but a show. The international community recognized it. Leading climate scientists recognized it. The ridicule of his proposal was virtually unanimous in the world and the scientific community.”
Another reader viewed the speech in a very different light:
“I think that the president is trying his best to stave off the green people so when the truth comes out it won’t hurt so bad on the costs. Warming island has always been an island it was mappped fifty years ago it is just another hoax that is perputrated by the green people . I am for clean air we have clened that up by 87% since the 80’s . so what else do we need to do ?”
So what do you think? Whose point do you support? Are there other interpretations of what the president said, or of what it could mean for the issue of greenhouse gas and global warming?
