I had in mind a somber post, but when I went to the NPR site to check out the story I heard on "Morning Edition" today concerning the rising price of crude oil, it led me to this instead: Environmentally Friendly Barbie Accessories made from scraps of Barbie clothes that would otherwise be thrown away. Like I needed another reason to go to Toys R Us, which is the only place to get the new B-Cause line of purses, diaries and whatnots. Unfortunately, I was given this knowledge in part through a story about poor Barbie sales and Mattel's loss of $45 million dollars last year. (Those recalls didn't do them any favors.)

Back to the subject of Earth Day, if I still lived in SoCal, I'd try to get one of these: Honda Clarity. I can't wait for them to be available everywhere.
