Your Mother is not happy

38 years ago, some worldly people gathered together with the notion that the Earth's inhabitants were finally ready to care for their planet.

Turns out, we're still waiting.

But while governments and major polluters drag their feet, there are smaller things that can be done.

Like rediscovering the clothesline. Or buying locally grown foods. Or by giving up bottled water for what comes out of the tap.

Oh, voting for candidates who actually care about the environment helps, too. And if you want to put your money where your mouth is, there are several mutual funds specializing in "green" companies (some of which you've actually heard of).

So be green today. And tomorrow.
