    This morning I came across the following quote by Ray Bradbury while looking for his observation: “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture.

    Save the Environment: Drive a Gas-Powered Car2

    The Washington Post recently reported that California will cease to allow the sale of gasoline-powered cars in the state by 2035.
