Happy GreenDC Day!!!!





Not to be outdone, today has been dubbed 'GreenDC Day' in the District. (Actually, the event was scheduled to take place on Monday, but was postponed.) So in honor of such, we're keeping the green another day. Here's the info from the DC website on the event:

Our nation's capital is going green and the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is leading the way. In celebration of Earth Day, DDOE is hosting Green DC Day on Monday, April 21, 2008 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 on Freedom Plaza in Northwest Washington, DC.
