From Earth Hour.
I realize most, if not all, of these images are from the Associated Press but Boston.com has some of the best photojournalism I've seen. Always.

You can click them on-and-off to see the lights. Mesmerizing.

Ending Small Farms in the US
... apparently. I haven't read through the entire bill... because it's huge and I'm on Spring Break and I'd probably need Robbie Minto next to me for reference. But here it is.
And here's where I found out about it.
Basically, the idea that the blogger is getting trying to get across (I think) is that, if the bill is passed, then all food grown for sale and consumption will be regulated and tested for "food safety," which asks if it's sprayed with herbicides, if it's grown from genetically-modified seeds etc. (Herbicides and genetically modified seeds are, according to the bill, good things for human consumption.)
I don't believe this is a matter of opinion, though I hope a discussion can ensue. The last week before spring break, we met a girl who was all for genetically modified seeds and we thought she was joking. Hippie elitist sarcasm ensued? You better believe it.

Jesus and the Environment
Many believers struggle with the idea of all the agendas being promoted out there in the world, sometimes getting confused as whether Jesus has something they want to get involved in or promote.
One of those many areas is environmentalism. Many church leaders are running to get involved in that arena, but there are a number of underlying problems with that.

I remembered this article when reading Joelle's post. This one is a little more extreme, but there is an excellent rebuttal from Peter Illyn, the founder of Restoring Eden.
