a billion acts of green

you dont have to do a billion green things on earth day, but you could commit to just one. one simple act can help our lovely planet. so, head to the earth day 'billion acts of green' page and commit to install an eastern blue bird set up or eat more locally produced food or use less pesticides...whatever it is, make a commitment and follow through! i am going to (finally!) install my rain barrel, just in time for today's rain!

earth day blasts on

today is earth day and the navy introduced  a partially bio-fueled version of it's gas hog f/a-18 super hornet called the green hornet. the twin engine jet made its test flight from pax river naval air station filled with 50% bio fuel derived from the crushed seeds of Camelina sativa. the hornet cruised the bay and tried to break the sound barrier.
 it could see my house from up there!
