Earth Day 4/22 Live Blog

Earth Day indeed. At right you'll notice a picture of Mother Earth taken from space. That's actually the satellite view of Jon's hometown of Detroit. See how clean it looks? See how dirty Canada looks in comparison? Way to go, Motown!

Dr. Harold Urschel gave us a look at his new book, Healing the Addicted Brain. Dr. Urschel says the way we treat addiction should be similar to treatment for any biological condition, from diabetes to asthma. His book is now available in stores and online.

So what can you do to celebrate this Earth Day? How about adopting a reduce/reuse/recycle lifestyle? Anneli Rufus offers a handbook for this growing movement, The Scavenger' Manifesto. Save your Earth, Save your Money, Save your Soul!

Tomorrow is officially Take Our Daughters To Work Day and the founder of that holiday (is it really a holiday?) joined us to talk about her new book, Stepping Out of Line. Nell Merlino has lessons for women of all ages at her website.

The Service League of FDL's Tour of Fashion is coming up next Wednesday, April 29th. Call 920-922-7428 for tickets.
