Rookie, I see from your profile that you support great causes. Kudos to you & thanks for making a difference. Please visit my page & support my Petition to End All Illegal Human Research Programs In America. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
The light is waning, and the earth seems to stands still. This calm pause in action plays within the beauty of night, encouraging us to delve into the darkness inside. Yule is the honoring of returning light, as we officially enter winter on December 21. We stand at the horizon of our darkest hour, gathering warmth in the Sun's promise of growth and renewal.
Star-Ledger File PhotoTree huggers come in all sizes and all ages. Commemorate Earth Day 2009 by wrapping your arms around a tree and sharing the photo to prove it. Earth Day 2009 is on April 22. This isn't just any Earth Day. It's the 40th anniversary. Seems like only yesterday, people were throwing old tires in our rivers without a second thought and now here we are, refusing plastic bags, recycling and buying electric cars. Happy April 1st !
Efficient use of the sun's energy is not necessarily a modern phenomena. Many centuries ago the Anasazi Indians of Southern Colorado found a way to capture the oblique rays of a winter sun. They simply built their stone houses against the south slope of canyon walls. The remains of their solar dwellings are still with us today.
