Writer wrap-up for the weekend

I've had a very busy last few weeks, and there are so many great posts on the Web that I hadn't had the opportunity to share with others.

As I'm off enjoying a sorely needed three-day weekend, here are some other interesting writers to share:

• Crunchy Chicken ponders the idea of freedom over consumption on the 4th of July.
• No Impact Man debates about whether we are headed toward a better or worse world.
• First Person Irregular writes about the five stages of grief over environmental concerns.
• Going Local writes about a CSA in Indiana which supports a program to help ministers develop their leadership skills.
• Walking Green shares her addiction to the printed page and how to balance that with a desire to conserve.

And, on the lighter side, if you need something for that cookout this weekend, Going Local shares some great summertime recipes, including Fire & Ice Chicken Wings, Miniature Sour Cherry Crumbles.

Have a happy - and safe - Fourth of July!
