Happy Earth Day!
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.

Hybrid to race in ALMS series
It’s no secret. Despite my deep interest in environmental and sustainable-living topics, i have a guilty pleasure…
I like watching cars go really fast. I spent part of my Labor Day watching the televised finals at the NHRA Mac Tools Nationals in Indianapolis. Not the most eco-friendly of sports by a long shot, even though one occasionally sees funny cars running on corn-based ethanol.
But now I’ve found a sign that conflicted gearheads may be able to spectate with less guilt in the future. The American LeMans Series announced earlier this week that professional race team Corsa Motorsports intends to race an ethanol/electric hybrid in the series’ LMP1 class. Corsa Motorsports’ website has more information about the car, as well as pictures of the sleek silver bullet. ALMS is trying to green up its series as well, with a category that factors cars’ emissions and efficiency into the final standings. Read more about that here, then come back and share your thoughts about this: is it good news for conflicted gearheads? An attempt to put a green spin on a highly consumptive activity? Something in-between? Share your thoughts.

The author of www.daytondailynews.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: You never know what you’ve got until it is gone. No matter how much it pranced under your nose, wearing nothing but underwear and sticking a banana in its ear, to get your attention. Thanks for the info.
