In looking for information about Cheshire, Ohio, a town of 221 bought up, entirely, by a polluting energy company, which Spaw wrote about, I found the following site which I thought might be of interest to some: Take Back Earth Day.

The following organisations have joined to create that site, etc.:

Don't drive your car ever again! Walk! Trot! Run! Ride a bicycle!
