Weekend Plans
I'm down with Earth Day. Obviously. Liberal and all.
However, I cannot stand being outdoors unless it's cloudy and hovering around seventy degrees. Or colder. Big fan! Unfortunately for me, Florida is not conducive to that kind of weather and so I stay inside.
A lot.
Oh, I want our environment preserved. For generations to come, though, not for me. Please. I'm an indoors girl.
Defenders of Wildlife is all kinds of excited about this year's celebration:
What could be a better time to celebrate the beauty and importance of the
world’s precious ecosystems and its amazing wildlife than to actually experience
nature’s wonder with a child in your life?
Take Defenders of Wildlife’s Earth Day Future Pledge!
Promise to take your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or another young person in
your life out to enjoy nature this weekend at a wildlife refuge, park or forest
near you.
Founded 37 years ago, Earth Day has always been about celebrating the rich
natural heritage that we’ll leave to future generations. That’s why it’s so
important that we take the time to experience the joy of nature with the young
people in our lives.
No thanks. You go, though. Enjoy.
Lowry Park is having its own Earth Day celebration this Sunday from 11am-4pm. Lots of presentations, ways to get involved, music, etc.
Now that sounds like something I can get behind. If the sun isn't out.

If you don't want to go outside for Earth Day, you don’t have to miss the action. Here are four quick ways to make your voice heard for the environment, courtesy of the Sierra Club:
1) If water quality is a concern for you, send a message to your Member of Congress to urge co-sponsorship of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Action of 2007. http://action.sierraclub.org/a_cleanwater
2) Out, out, dam spots! It’s time to find out whether removing four dams from the Snake River could save the Columbia Basin and threatened salmon populations. Ask your Representative to support the Salmon Economic Analysis and Planning Act http://action.sierraclub.org/a_salmon
3) Who doesn’t like clean energy, right? Contact your Senators and ask them to fund new investment in clean energy by rolling back subsidies for Big Oil.

4) Think you have what it takes to fight global warming? Be part of the 2% Solution. Find out if you’re up for the challenge. http://action.sierraclub.org/a_2percent
However you celebrate, happy Earth Day!

Got it...
Now that explains why you haven't visited us in LA yet.
There's nothing but sunshine here.
