Conservation

Google has created a cool tool for everyone around the world to share what they are doing for Earth Day (next Tuesday). Check it out here: www.google.com/earthday08/.

You can post a message or a video you made on youtube, explaining what you're doing for Earth Day. You enter your zip code so the post will show up on Google Maps. It's a great way to see how everyone around the country and around the globe plans to spend Earth Day.
