You're kidding, right?

So there must have been a contest or something downtown? And there was a prize for the person who could write a worse Earth Day lede than "It's not easy being green"? And ...

As the famous frog Kermit once said, it's not easy being green.

Still, in a celebration of Earth Day on Tuesday, Sierra Club officials gave high marks to cities, businesses and individuals who are doing their best to love the Earth, including the Ferndale brewery that hosted the event.

Sure is hard to imagine such a thing skating through cityside, rim and slot otherwise.
