greenies – not just for pets

In today's newspaper, I just read several local articles about combating global warming. I know that you're thinking to yourself, "Hmmm, this is not an art posting". I know, I know, just consider this something else that is near and dear to me.

Fairfax, VA's largest county, has decided to become a Cool County. This program encourages 3,000 plus counties to reduce greenhouse gases. Soon, we'll be seeing aerial views of lush rooftop gardens during the evening traffic report.

Next in line is the fact that my beloved IKEA is bringing home a little more of that Scandinavian love by charging for plastic bags. So, walk like a European and BYOB (bring your own bag, silly). Take that you indestructible plastic beast. 

Lastly, hang out on the west front lawn of the Capitol on March 20 for Climate Crisis action day. While your at it, you might as well enjoy a sneak preview of our lavish cherry trees.

Go VA!
