Happy Earth Day! Our show today looks at efforts to make the world a greener place. NHPR reporter Amy Quinton tells us about the incredible amounts of energy used by data centers, and how engineers are trying to cut down the energy used to run them and keep them from overheating. We take a closer look at polar bears, who've become the poster-children of anti-global warming efforts. And we hear about an animated film that follows where our everyday products come from.
We want to know what you're doing to make the world a greener place. Are you trying to walk or ride a bicycle instead of drive? Swapping out those old incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents? Eating locally-grown foods? Leave a comment below and let the rest of us know what we can do to help improve the planet.

I love the new show. Keep up the great work! Two things that are simple, free, and quick that every person with the internet can do are:
1 add the Greenbook application to your facebook account. This application does great things through sponsorship to buy carbon credits, keeping that carbon out of our air.
2 visit www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive every day and scroll through all the tabs. Simply click the button on each page and help the world it's free and easy.
Thank you.
