Not too much to drive you to drink this week.
Here’s are some money stories for your weekend: 
- The Business Insider Green Sheet reported on the drop in venture capital flowing to green technologies. Come on guys, Earth Day’s coming! (Come back Monday for the ABCs of VC.)
- SustainableBusiness.com covered the national youth movement to get Congress to pass stronger climate legislation to address emission reduction targets, transition America to 100% clean energy, and eliminates loopholes that allow companies to continue polluting.
- The Third Sector looked at a new report on the financing crisis in non-profits. (In my community, the United Way just cut all distributions by 15%.)
- Newt Gingrich praised the Financial Accounting Standards Board for relaxing the mark-to-market rules.
Bottoms up!
