Three topics have dominated FN in the past week: (1) summer and all the concerns that come with it, including SPF and what to do for sunburns; (2) the earthquake in Japan and the subsequent explosions at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, along with the tragic and inspiring stories that accompanied this disaster; and (3) Earth Hour 2011 and ways to go green even past the event.

Many of the same themes were seen in our partner sites, but a number of other topics were thrown into the mix too. So scroll down and check out our links to our fave reads from our brother and sister sites.
