In other news, just received this press release from Project Evergreen.

Dear Colleague,

Last week I sent you some information regarding Project EverGreen's second Annual Because Green Matters Calendar Photography contest. Project EverGreen is seeking pictures of all types of well-maintained green spaces, such as parks, lawns, gardens and golf courses for publication in its 2008 calendar.

There is no cost to enter, and winners will receive a $100 gift certificate to a big box store. The deadline to enter is August 1, 2007. Contest rules and entry forms can be found at http://www.projectevergreen.com/newsroom/2008calendar.html. If you would like more information about the contest or if you want to speak with Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen, please let me know. Thank you for your consideration.


Is it just me, or is it slightly weird that the prize for well maintained green spaces is a gift certificate to a big box store? Stop the presses. The word green is being misappropriated for politically incorrect uses. Speaking of which, Jack Schafer's column in Slate, Green is the new yellow is pretty good.
