So Street Team '08 -- our Choose or Lose reporters covering the election in every state -- partied it up green-style around the country in honor of Earth Day.

Erica Anderson of Washington, DC, checked out the Green Apple Fest in her town –- one of eight going on in different cities across the country this past weekend, with celebs, musicians, politicians, and thousands of fans coming out to support the cause. The DC show had Earth-friendly performances from artists including the Roots and O.A.R., and the National Anthem was sung, appropriately, by American Idol Jordin Sparks.

But the highlight for Erica might have been when she scored an interview with Chevy Chase (at 1:19), who answered her serious environmental questions in true comic form. Erica said that she rolled with the comedic punches until Chase turned somber and said, “’OK, I'll give you something serious.’ He went on to tell me about the candidates he preferred, who had the strongest policies, and that ‘McCain is like going back to the old days....no offense…’“

Also check out the Green Apple event in Denver, CO, through Street Teamer Trevor Martin’s video, featuring interviews with everyone from Aaron Neville to Denver’s mayor.

It doesn't just have to be Earth Day for the ST to jump on the environmental bandwagon (which is totally run on biodiesel). Check out their recent stories on green jobs, car conversions, and what the heck ethanol is.

And don't forget that it’s also the big Pennsylvania Primary day, when we might finally learn who the Democratic nominee for President will be. Check out PA Street Teamer Cassidy Hartmann's blog to see how it's all going down in her state.
