It is a little-known fact that Earth Day is celebrated every year on Lenin’s Birthday, the first Earth Day being the hundredth anniversary of his birth.

I therefore heartily recommend Tracy Mehan’s Washington Times article today which highlights recent triumphs of the Free Market in securing environmental improvements. Too much effort is still directed towards statist solutions to environmental problems. The world has rejected Marxist-Leninist approaches in virtually every other aspect of the economy. With more attention payed to free market solutions, we might be able to move Earth Day to, say, June 5.
