April 22 is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. There are many, many activities around the world and in the news to recognize the day. The Department of Energy provides a nice Earth Day web site for the occasion. It includes animations, tips, a poll, a blog... you name it.
I think the cool thing about Earth Day is that we've set aside a special day each year on which we can't help but think of the future of this marvelous blue planet, teeming with life, that we call home.

According to a new American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) report, the average cost per kiloWatt hour of energy efficiency is about 2.5 cents, down from about 3 cents in a similar 2004 report.
