Earth Day

As I go to Evergreen Archery Free Range Day and then later, to Spokane's Earth Day Celebration, I contemplate a few things. Earth Day is just four years older than me. 41 years old. As the daughter of a couple of hippies, It's been interesting watching Earth Day develop from being pretty much a rag-tag band of hopeful people to the conglomeration of business it now is. It's so exciting to see so many green options -- straw bale houses, organic gardens, carbon footprint awareness, fair trade, natural birth, breastfeeding protection laws, -- but the question remains -- is there a truly safe source of energy?
