Earth Day, Wed. April 22nd, is the official launch of the EcoCommons in Second Life. In additional to educational sessions and presentations, this interactive, mixed reality event will feature a keynote speech from the office of Congressman Ed Markey (D-Mass), Chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, broadcast from Second Life. The launch event is part of the TechSoup Global GreenTech Initiative's month-long campaign: Telegreening Your Work, to educate social benefit organizations on how to save money and the environment by using technologies, such as Second Life, to work remotely and collaborate online.

In Celebration of Earth Day, we at Kyndle Foundation, thought we'd have some quick fun on our community sites and we're asking you to join in! We're having a blog challenge, asking our friends, "How do YOU do Green?" You can blog, take pictures and video...put it on YouTube...put it on Flickr... feature it in your podcasts...any thing to show how you do green!
