Under the headline "Texas (yes, Texas) hosts one of the biggest Earth Day festivals in the US", Recharge received an email pointing out that the nation's second-largest event was in oil-mad Dallas. Earth Day Dallas, a non-profit organisation led by environmentalist Trammell Crow and other community figures, drew 48,000 people for its inaugural celebration on April 22, with more than 280 environment-related booths, music and arts performances, kids' activities and even a "green" beer garden.
