Blog Action Day: a retrospective

Today is Blog Action Day. From the official site:

On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind—the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.

Of all the adjectives I could think of to describe Nick and me, 'environmentalist' is not the first that springs to mind. But looking back over our blog it seems we've actually written more environmentally-focused posts than I would've thought! In honor of Blog Action Day, a retrospective of our environmentally-related writing this year:

• Wal-Mart invests in solar panels (Jan.)
• Power plants: the new energy-efficient way to heat your home? (Jan.)
• Global warming wreaks havoc on weather patterns (Feb.)
• As an energy-conservation method, Daylight Savings Time is a hoax (Apr.)
• Carbon-neutral web hosting (Apr.)
• How Daylight Savings Time contributes to global warming (Apr.)
• Calculate your home's energy footprint (May)
