Happy Earth Day 2016 ! Ride your BICYCLE !

Thanks for the upbeat article, Tom.

I like to eat beans, so the greenhouse gases that I save by not driving my car are somewhat offset by my flatulence.

Some people are saying that we've already reached the tipping point on renewable energy sources. I'm more concerned now about what we're doing to our oceans. It's estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic waste in our oceans than fish. If we jeopardize sea plankton, we're in big trouble.
