We consider the effect of inhomogeneities on the expansion of the Einstein - de Sitter universe. We find that the back-reaction of linear scalar metric perturbations results in apparent dark energy with a mixture of equations of state between 0 and - 4/3. We discuss the possibility that back-reaction could account for present-day acceleration.
