With the green revolution there's all these buzzwords about sustainability this and green that but just like some of the the previous green technologies, things tend to have a way of fading away when something shinier and newer comes along. So how can we have a long term approach to sustainability so that it doesn't fade away like the 1st gen electric car or solar panels?

This morning a coalition of business leaders, Republican Lindsey Graham, Democratic senators, religious leaders, and military officials were scheduled to debut their “grand compromise” climate bill. However, this weekend dueling press releases and political positioning led Lindsey Graham to pull his support for the climate bill.

For any environmentalist parent, that is a win-win situation. But for children to truly appreciate the fun that could be had on Earth Day (April 22), it helps if mom and dad understand where Earth Day comes from and what it's about. According to USA Today, this is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.

What do our dreams mean?
