Green Day

We do an excellent job of leaving litter all over our planet. We've left a lot on the moon too. However, moon litter doesn't even begin to compare to the problems we've created with space debirs in ordbit of Earth. The Swiss, known for their cleanliness, are finally doing something about that...

Ash Day

Yes, usually, Wednesday is Green Day. This week, for today and tomorrow, we're talking about Ash Wednesday. In the spirit of that, however, remember the long-held practice by many churches to use last year's palm fronds for this year's ashes. Reuse!

Many people have trouble explaining what Ash Wednesday is to their friends or explaining that it's not just for Catholics. This video does an excellent job of explaining Ash Wednesday, even if they seem to nothing at all about the Lone Ranger*.

*The Lone Ranger was "lone" not because he worked on his own independently (note, Tonto was his faithful companion and friend, not sidekick). He was "lone" because he was the only one of a large group of Texas Rangers who survived an ambush. Also, Tonto was "lone" before he met the Ranger because he had no tribe. They were "lone" by circumstance and not choice. Together, they relied on one another to help others.
