Hooray for Earth Day! People gather to recycle
cans before turning around in their SUV to go home. This above photo
was a message from the World Wildlife Foundation to China. It reads,
"Drive one day less and look how much carbon dioxide you'll keep out of
the air we breathe." We think it looks neat and makes its point well.

Useful
G4 teams up with Earth 911 to provide a gadget recycling search engine
called Gcycle. You enter your zipcode and the electronic you want to
recycle. They tell you where to go.
Clever
LAPTOP instructs us on how to make a keyboard into a wallet, and gives
us four other ideas to find new uses for old gadgets that aren't bad at
all.
Provocative
WorldChanging takes a stance against Earth Day.
The
biggest problem with Earth Day is that it has become a ritual of
sympathy for the idea of environmental sanity. Small steps, we're told,
ignoring the fact that most of the steps most frequently promoted
(returning your bottles, bringing your own bag, turning off the water
while you brush your teeth) are of such minor impact (compared to our
ecological footprints) that they are essentially meaningless without
larger, systemic action as well. The strategy of recycling as a gateway
drug -- get them hooked on it and we can move them on to harder stuff
-- has failed miserably.
Steadfast
Treehugger responds...
We all know that changing a lightbulb is meaningless if we are building
coal fired power plants like mad. The issues at stake will be dealt
with at the government level, not in our chandelier... [but] small
steps lead to education and awareness and that leads to votes and votes
lead to change.
Is it possible that we agree with both sides?
Tacky
Dell offers Second Life players free virtual trees. We're too embarrassed to explain.
