Happy? Earth Day!

It's Earth Day! Do anything exciting?

There's a ton of press leading up to today, all really interesting. The Washington Post looks at the death of Earth Day today and also had a good look at Mountain Top Removal on Sunday. They also launched a new "Green Section" online.

MSN has a special section and there was a ton of press coverage of Bush's climate change "initiative", if you can call it that. There's talk of fuel economy guidelines being released to meet the 35mpg standards in the next decade, and more and more.

So, suddenly everyone cares - or it looks like they care. My question is does it matter? Is it too late? There seem to be lots of magic solutions to climate change, but nobody mentions that the use of ethanol could lead to higher food prices (which, by the way, have been increasing and are now called a "Silent Tsunami").

Also, how do you or did you celebrate Earth Day? I suggest planting a tree - maybe Apple.
