Earth Day 2008 ...



This Tuesday, April 22, is Earth Day again. I remember the first one. It was in the early 1970's and became a widespread celebration in its inaugural year. Back then there were very few people you could call detractors, those who ridiculed it or called themselves anti-environmental.

Things have changed. Now it is politically convenient to be anti-environmental, calling environmentalists "tree-huggers" and other names, ridiculing climate change as some kind of political plot, or simply calling recycling a waste of effort.

Piss on them.

Hug a tree. Pay attention to climate change. Put your plastic in the plastic recycling bin.

You will be doing their great grandchildren a big favor.

While I consider anything having to do with Al Gore fair game. I do like breathing air I can’t see. Every day should be Earth Day.

I will hug a tree. I will recycle the plastic bags, even if I have no chance of ever having a grandchild. I will do all this because you said to and I believe you.

DH is a recycling fanatic. I use green cleaning supplies and cloth grocery bags. When they wear out I'll be sewing up some more.

I use paper and our paper bags you can re-use because they have handles.
