Earth Day in Print
The arrival of Earth Day this week brought the expected articles and opinions of how to be more "green." Wouldn't it be comforting if you took a more comprehensive view of our environment throughout the newspaper's sections?
For example, an article praising the "green" thoughts that went into building a 28,000-square-foot house could point out that a 2,800-square-foot house would be much "greener" regardless of how it was built. Recipes that require rinsing an ingredient under cold, running water for 20 minutes would not be printed, and no automobiles would be tested and reviewed unless their fuel consumption was 25 miles per gallon or better.
And the headline on the continuation of an April 21 Metro story, "Mother Nature Uncooperative During Earth Day Festival," should have said "Mother Nature Cooperates Fully During Earth Day Festival" by providing an abundance of that valuable and finite resource, fresh water.
