Happy Earth Day
Despite the pollen, I am doing some of my work from home on the deck this morning. The temperature is magnificent, and the backyard songbirds are only occasionally drowned out by sirens on Brainerd Road or jets roaring overhead.
I regard it as fortunate that the only commuting I will be doing today is to a rehearsal this evening at a local high school. Even though Diesel prices are gasp-inducing at the moment, I'm also glad that the tiny TDI engine in our rapidly aging VW Jetta gets the mileage that it does. This is not to brag; just to show how, though no one is "perfectly green," everyone can find small steps to take (every day, not just today) toward the responsible use of resources.
If, unlike me, you are free to get out and about for some Earth Day activities, then go to this website to find out what's going on. I'm interested in the organic lawn care event, since our lawn needs care — but neither our child, nor our pets, nor the wildlife nor the water table needs any added toxicity.
