What did you do to contribute in earth day? Me, I use washable bags for groceries just a few months ago. I believe that people should really take care of our mother earth even in your own very little way. That would help big time!

I started up my 1990 GMC Jimmy, 350 cid V-8, and just let it run all day long, and cut down some trees to burn in my wood burning stove.

 

Don't forget about the kittens you kicked along the way, too.

Me, I use washable bags for groceries just a few months ago.

 

you, uhhh... did what?

 

 

I got to work early and fired up all 13 of my diesel trucks and ran them at full idle for 3 hours before they were needed.

 

I also set 4 old tires on fire, and made sure to leave all the lights and appliances on in my house before I left for the day.

 

I took 4 florescent bulbs and broke them, and then used compressed air to blow the mercury all over the neighborhood.

 

 

and I kicked 2 cats. It was all I could find.

Okay, who took over Bender's account?... Since when has he been so welcoming, nice and polite, esp. to newcomers?:p A lot of you were assholes to me when I first came around.

 

Let's reminisce, Bender banned me for no good reason if I remember correctly. JAW was a vulgar prik. Manic Monday was a major bitch for no reason. Cloaked thought I was a dude impersonating a girl. That's all I can remember for now. There was probably more. And others, were probably always nice and respectful from the get go like Snaf, OS...:)

I just reuse the regular plastic bags or recycle them.

Best thing I've figured out to remember to take them: empty them and immediately put them on the front passenger seat of the car... then put one of the kids in charge of remembering to bring them inside the store.

 

Next best thing: always take a kid with you to the grocery store and make them go back to the car to get them (after you both forget them) while you unload the cart.

I stood on my deck, lit cigarette dangling whilst donning my bathrobe (made from newborn puppies), and emptied carton after carton of Aquanet aerosol cans into the the beautiful fresh and crisp mountain air.

 

Figuring carpal tunnel would set in, I paid the neighborhood kids $1 a piece to finish what I started.

Ohh... and here's a little morsel to gnaw at...

 

Joe Biden spent Earth Day by announcing that you, the taxpayers, are going to pay $300 million so that cities and towns can purchase more fuel-efficient vehicles for government employees. Remember, this is all in the name of "economic stimulus."

 

Just to keep things in perspective ...

 

Wasn't it earlier this week that Barack Obama asked his cabinet to trim a collective $100 million for their budgets? Now two days later, this administration is willing to throw around three times that amount so that government hacks can drive around in fancy hybrid vehicles.

 

That's change you can believe in. N'how!

Quotes made by scientists, periodicals and leaders from the first Earth Day 1970...

 

Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.

? Harvard biologist George Wald

 

We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.

? Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist, Earth Day issue of
Environment

 

Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.

? New York Times, 4/19/70

 

The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.

? Peter Collier,
Mademoiselle
, April 1970

 

By 1975 some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.

? Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist, essay
Eco-Catastrophe!

 

It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.

? Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day, Spring 1970 issue
The Living Wilderness

 

Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions. By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.

? Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University

 

Air pollution is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.

? Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

 

Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support?the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution? by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half.

? Life Magazine
