Yesterday was earth day. A day that somewhat shamed me. Here's the story: I was surveyed by a CBS News/ New York Times surveyor - you know, the sample of 1361 random Americans, blah, bla, blah. Anyway, I must of answered close to 100 questions, but the one that brought me up cold was: "What specifically do you do to conserve energy or actually help the environment?" - Well, let's see; we recycle glass, paper and plastic. We try to use florescent bulbs, we've cut way back on plastic bags from Krogers and we have an energy miser device on the air-conditioner. But is that all, is that the best we can do? Where are the choices we should have? Shouldn't I figure out how to power the farm with wind? How much unnecessary driving are we guilty of? Shouldn't our house be equipped with awnings to keep the sun off windows and walls? I really don't do much to make any difference and I self identify as someone who cares about the planet. Seems to me we've got a long, long way to go.
