If you've been wondering how you can express your affection for our planet, tomorrow is your answer. Saturday, April 22, is Earth Day. We turned to Green LA Girl to see what's happening around the city. We culled these from her list:

Senator Frist's threats are his way of side-stepping Senate Democrats who want to block several of President Bush's judicial nominees.
