HAPPY EARTH DAY, Naperville. Today in The Sun (4.22) we're celebrating a day that as energy costs spiral out of control and more and more carbon emissions shoot into the atmosphere, is taking on greater importance every year. Today we tell you what some of your Naperville neighbors are doing to help save the planet's precious resources and also look at the ongoing efforts of the city to be environmentally responsible. It isn't easy being green but it's getting vital to the prosperity - and ultimately the survival - of humanity. We're also including a whole bunch of area events you may want to participate in. But Earth Day is just one day, so tell us what you're doing to contribute to the green cause and what you think of Earth Day and the whole movement that's gathering more steam (pardon the pun) every day. How eco-friendly are you? We'd like to know.

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake centered in southern Illinois rattled people early Friday morning and was felt as far away as Wisconsin and Iowa. Did you feel the quake shortly after 4:30 a.m.? Tell us about your experience. Include a working e-mail address, if you'd like to share your story with a reporter for an online article today and our Sunday print edition.
Today (Fri. 4.18) we take a gander at the two geese who have become mascots of a Naperville furniture store, where they've taken up nesting grounds. . .like right outside the establishment. The geese have been named Fred and Wilma and there's even a competition to name Mother Goose's little gosling when he or she arrives. Sounds like a real barrel of laughs until, that is, you talk to some parents whose kids have been either bitten by the geese or have had the daylights scared out of them. What do you make of this whole episode? Are you just ducky with it or do you think the geese have opened a hornet's nest? We'd like to know.
