It’s Earth Day, which many green bloggers hate, since spending just 1 day thinking about how to preserve human livability on this small planet simply doesn’t cut it. On the flip side, it is an opportunity to make more people aware of the benefits of solar energy, electric vehicles, bicycling, and other good green stuff.

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls?
