  • The International Energy Agency releases its monthly oil market report on supply and demand around the globe.
  • If you spot an orphaned shopping cart on your block help it find its way home. February is ‘Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month.’ Hey, does pushing a grocery cart across a parking lots count as exercise?
