They are raking the grass. Couldn't the White House come up with a system for removing the grass, you know, like normal gardeners?
Now to the meat: Hooray! This is the kind of thing that our country needs. So often people ask, "What can I do?" Bush once said, "Shop." Obama is saying, "Volunteer." I'm saying, "Grow a garden. Ride a bike. Walk. Turn off the lights. Turn up/down the thermostat. Use less water." For some reason, and it's terribly disappointing, our leaders aren't emphasizing the real, tangible, doable actions that would make a big difference. Simply replacing some of the tomatoes you eat from Chile with tomatoes you grow in your back yard will reduce your carbon footprint significantly.
Good for the Obamas for stepping up and leading by example.
