Friday 5: Green Friday
Lucy Gray
Hi Everyone -
Everywhere you turn, green is in the limelight. Thomas Friedman, of
the New York Times and A World is Flat fame, has authored a new green
article for the NYT Sunday Magazine, Vanity Fair has devoted its
entire April issue to environmental topics, and my local papers, the
Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times, both have turned out
several articles that have caught my attention. Is this a fad or are
people really getting serious about our environment? Only time will
tell, but I am certainly more interested in learning about what I can
personally do to make this world a better place. This week's list
consists of sites that I've found in my online explorations... a
little late for Earth Day, but I suppose every day is Earth Day now.
Take care,
Lucy Gray
