How Green is Your Country?
September 18, 2007
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering, 'I will try again tomorrow.'
-Mary Anne Radmacher

Once again the United States is at the bottom of the list! We better wake up real soon, or there'll be no future for our children and grandchildren.
