If you look at the three articles in this series (8 Ways to Green Your Morning Routine, 5 Ways to Green Your Daytime Routine, and this one), I think one thing clearly stands out.

Dads. They're so under-appreciated aren't they? I mean it's got to be tough being waited on hand and foot by the cave woman you drug back to the cave by the hair, all while sitting on the couch slamming down beer and watching the game...right? Ha. Just kidding. Just like moms, daughters, sons, teachers, accountants, cousins, leprechauns, and everyone else on the face of the planet, Dads don't get the credit they're due. I have an idea, let's make a special day to celebrate their awesomeness. Oh … [Read more...]
