Ok we partied: yea we live on a planet that not only supports life but life that is intelligent enough to celebrate this fact once every revolution. Many green webblogs are bemoaning the commercial and short attention effect that has become Earth Day- I couldn’t agree more. Every year is going to be a little more alarming when it comes to environmental news so this reflection as far as an anniversary is important for no other reason than as a sharp reminder that it is not going to get any easier soon, so buck up.
Good news!
We’ll I am excited to announce that the website toponlineengineeringdegree.com named the sustainable line blog #15 in their top fifty green building blogs. Of course few have heard of them and frankly I don’t know why they heard of me but I think a hyperlink to the list is in order. A grateful thank you Top Online Engineering Degree.
Inhabitat asked it’s writers to say what they will do on Earth Day so I’ll share my contribution:
Over 422 planets have been discovered so far and not one of them has a day named for them (as far as we know). Earth is probably feeling a little smug. I’ll be spending Earth Day at a USGBC conference in Denver, CO and taking a tour of the first and only LEED state capital in the US. With notepad in hand I’ll get a report out to all of you on how they did it. I am grateful to see so much enthusiasm about sustainable living and building in the Rocky Mountain region, but it is certainly not enough. I want to see some real action, discipline, and cooperation to pull us out of this ditch. Time to get everyone on board, we are going to live more lightly on this enduring but fragile ride!
