Earth Day..

In a world of fast pace, and technology. “Going Green” has become more innovative and is used as a marketing premise for many big corporations. According to Leslie Kaufman’s article in The New York Times, At 40, Earth Day Is Now Big Business, “the momentum for the first Earth Day came from the grass roots, many corporations say that it is often the business community that now leads the way in environmental innovation.” (para 14) Businesses say that they do not intend for people to purchase there items, because they are promoting a greener planet, its hard to deny to inevitable. Why would businesses throw the millions of dollars at a campaign to not reap the rewards?

It's a Great Time for Sports

This Monday may be the beginning of the best sports week/ weekend of the year. Donavan McNabb was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles after 11 years of being there starting quarterback. Also, college basketball is nearing its end, bringing us the frenzy called “March Madness.” Major League Baseball kicked off last night with the Boston Red Sox defeating the defending World Champions. On top of all that, the biggest story is that of Tiger Woods making his appearance back on the PGA Tour.
The Philadelphia Eagles brought us the biggest off-season move of the year. They traded star quarterback Donavan McNabb to a divisional foe, the Washington Redskins. The Eagles ideally did not want to trade him within the division, but they claim that they wanted him to go to a place he could succeed. The way I see it, it’s not going to matter anyways because both teams will be battling for last place.
This year was one to remember in sport of college basketball, along with the tournament. Although my bracket was busted within the first couple of hours of the tournament starting, it was definitely entertaining. This tournament has seen more upsets than ever before. The Butler Bulldogs were a 5 seed who face the likes of power houses; Syracuse, Kansas State, and Michigan State, to reach the Championship game against Duke.
Baseball is Americas Greatest Pastime, and its back. Although it’s a long season, every team starts out in first place, even the Pirates and Royals.
Finally, the five month wait is over, Tiger Woods is back on the course and off the tabloids. Even though It seemed like such a big deal at the time, I have a feeling that if Tiger is down one stroke going into the 18 hole, we’ll all be rooting for him. Tiger is a superstar, regardless of his off-field predicaments.
