Loyola Chicago’s Mosaic

Learn something new every Earth Day, that’s what I say. Have you ever seen this?

The fact that a holiday has its own flag is astounding. It’s green, it’s bright, it’s got some Greek lettering. And that’s cool, but my real question is: the environmental movement likes the fact that the flag of the country producing a fifth of the world’s pollution is the basis the environmental movement’s flag?

This is more a condemnation of the US than anything. However, we have our bright spots. I noticed President Bush is finally putting together some real legislation. While it’s very little, it’s still better than what he WAS going to leave our next president.

The US is starting to put hybrid cars out on the road in bigger numbers than thought possible on our roads. Maybe it’s the fact that gas hit $3.50 a gallon average, but us American green troopers will take it as a victory.

And let’s never forget the most important part of the greening of America: CNN putting a little green logo in its corner for Earth Day.
