Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…

So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?

Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?

A time to call for more action?

Or something in-between?

Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

Progress

In case you didn’t notice the fleets of buses, camera crews and overall Hollywood buzz in West Chester Twp. this week, Here’s the big news: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was in town to build a new house for a local family.

The reason I mention this in the Living Green blog is that one of the features included in the house is a geothermal heating/cooling system. I’ve heard the builders used other green technology in the house, but had limited access to the interior details (the press pass only gets me so far sometimes).

We’ll have to wait until late September or early October to see the house’s interior details, but I thought it was certainly noteworthy that this widely watched, Emmy nominated show will be featuring at least a mention of renewable energy for home use in one of its coming episodes.

A sign, perhaps, that we’re making some progress.
