Happy Earth Day all. Not sure we get that show on our Discovery channel. But its a perfect day for it today. Our government just passed a law (I think) that in our province we will not be able to buy incandescent bulbs, only the fluorescent kinds. It said if everyone uses those we'll save enough energy to run 600,000 homes.
Home Depot is giving away 1 million of the CFL bulbs. Wal-mart also put out an ad that if every one of their customers bought 1, it would be the equivalent of taking 100,000 (I'll have to check the number for sure) cars off the road.
Also, last school year, I was watching some high school math program and the students did the total cost calculation for CFL and incandescent light bulbs and CFLs ARE more cost-efficient, by A LOT of money, not to mention the good for the environment.
Oh, you beat me to it....I was just about to post "Happy Earth Day!"
I haven't been watching it, is it good?
We are going to an Earth Day celebration today, though.

We had a great time at the celebration!
I let Aly buy a t-shirt. The artwork for this year's fest was so cool and it was on the t-shirt, for $10 on a purple shirt.
Here's a link to the artwork: http://www.earthdaybr.org/images/07bred/07_logo_sm.jpg
