I'm a couple of days late, so from here on out all I've got are non-earth days. Where was I for the actual day? Up in wet and rainy NYC briefing a great group of college students that are going to be running citizen outreach offices for EA this summer. That was pretty great. The wet and rainy, not so much.

Anyway, here's a roundup of things I would have posted this past weekend.

* The BBC's photo essay on how the world is changing

* Alternet provides its grassroots response to Vanity Fair's celebration of the big wig enviros.

* Jad Mouawad had a good piece in yesterday's NY Times about how the tightening of global oil supplies has provided smaller producing countries with new leverage.

* For his part, Andrew Revkin, who has been one of the leading mainstream writers on global warming, attempts to "shed a little light in all the heat." Surprisingly, he continues to play the game of allowing a handful of scientists to hold equal weight with the overwhelming majority of scientists.

* Apple does its small part
