it's not easy being green

 Ugh, sorry for the very overused title. Actually, I'm a little bit worried about all of this week's show being kind of overused. Which is not a concern in a hipster, ugh-how-unoriginal sort of way, but is a concern if the discourse around environmental issues is stuck and not moving forward in a constructive way. So what do you think? Have we reached a point where we understand what needs to be done so well that we've become paralyzed about actually doing it?

Wow. Oops. That ended up a lot more cynical than I was intending. To counter that, have some evidence of and opportunities for forward action. Here's the HuffPo article about the Keystone XL pipeline student protest that took place in DC this weekend and at which several super cool folks from Midd participated. If you're feeling bummed that you weren't there with them and want to register your opinion on the pipeline (whether in assent or dissent, to be fair), head over to regulations.gov and make your comment. The comment window is open until midnight on March 7 (Friday), so don't delay!

As ever, the playlist can be found on WRMC's website.

Next week will kick off a special two-week series looking at possibly (okay, almost definitely) my favorite topic of heated discussion: women! and gender! If you've got any tunes falling under that umbrella that need to played, send 'em my way. 

And now, onwards....to the comment box!
