Bush is spending Earth Day in the Great Smoky Mountains -- one of the national parks regularly cited by the National Parks Conservation Association as blighted with dirty air, chronically underfunded (they're in the red $11.5 million this year) and clogged with traffic. Even the EPA has rated the nation's most visited park as "unhealthy." I hope he finds time to fire up the iPod and go for a long jog.

It's rare to find anyone who is talking about solutions to our environmental mess and when you do, it's difficult to get the word out. As Friday is EArth Day, it seems a good time to spread the word about a new DVD by screenwriter and Emmy-award winning documentary filmmaker Charles Proser.
GAIA SELENE, Saving the EArth by Colonizing the Moon is a new documentary about solving our environmental and energy problems by developing the moon's resources, all with available technology. The film features top scientists, futurists and visionaries speaking on the issues and offering viable solutions. What they have to say should become part of the national conversation.
