Happy Earth Day

So what's going on this Earth Day?  Among all the crazy promotions and promises made to capitalize on the buzz, I liked this one: Disney's Earth movie starts, and for every ticket that's purchased, Disney will plant a tree.  It's as good a reason as any to check out the film.  The added bonus is, thanks to the commercial, the promise of the Sigur Ros song Hoppipola on the soundtrack.

In other relevant news, President Obama continues to push his aggressive environmental agenda.  That's a hopeful sign for all of us.  Let's hope that he's successful, and that the blossoming green-collar economy not only helps us combat climate change, but also can provide a boost to the economy (in case you haven't heard, there's a recession on).

Whatever your plans for tomorrow, it's important to remember the now cliche saying, "every day is Earth Day."  

More tomorrow.

I've spent several days thinking about Disney's Earth movie and wondering how it is going to or if it is going to cause people to think about the planet. I created a debate page at Earth The Movie ~~ DisneyNature Films CAN Help Save Planet Earth if you'd like to visit.
