Green Daily

By far my favorite thing about today's Blog Action Day revelry is all the many different perspectives the world's blogs have brought to environmental issues. Take WoW Insider, for instance -- a site devoted to the goings on inside the online multi-player game World of Warcraft.

The game is set on a a planet called Azeroth, which is inhabited by a number of different species -- the Taurens being one of them. It turns out these people really know how to live without leaving a footprint:

"You get the idea when looking at the Tauren lands, that if they were to up and leave Mulgore, the evidence of their civilization would be gone in a matter of years. They certainly would have left a minimum of damage behind -- perhaps some slight deforestation."

So, maybe we can learn from this imaginary race, and emulate them to help heal our ailing planet. Maybe one day we'll all live in Earthships -- self-sufficient homes built entirely from recycled materials that require no outside utilities.

Or maybe not. But if you're curious to know how others feel about Earthships, Tauren homes, and this no-impact style of green living, check out the poll at the end of the WoW Insider post -- it's pretty hysterical.
