Happy Earth Day everyone! This is my first time hosting a carnival. It’s a daunting task sorting through so many submissions. We had 106 total submissions, and most of them are posted here. The only thing I really did as far as weeding some out was not to accept more than one from any one blogger. I think that’s how we’re supposed to handle it, I don’t know. Anyway, there are lots of good things to read here. If it’s your first time visiting my blog, welcome! I hope you’ll look around (and come back). Thanks for reading.

Great to see you posting such a exhaustive list of interesting posts . Liked the ditors pick most among the lot. Waiting for more from you. Would also like to contribute posts of my own if you allow.Do let me know.
Thanks a lot for hosting the carnival and including my entry.
I like the one regarding the identity theft. I do not think that many people are actually aware of how common this type of fraud is. It would be interesting if someone wrote a post on how to recognize different skimming machines in order to make people more aware and suspicious.
Great post and info! Thanks for hosting.
