Hope you had a good Earth Day! (Sound off about your experience in the Grist poll.)

For me it’s been great to see so many places embracing the green spirit! I noticed that more people were into my reusable shopping bags this week than normal. In fact, usually I get the this-is-such-a-hassle face from the bagger at my neighborhood grocery store. But this week people were asking me where I got mine or telling me about their own bags. Awesome!

I like this video’s mellow music and graphics. And I like the idea of tying together the concepts of environmentalism, consumption and lifestyle. It really is all related.
