In honor of earth day I have shut off all devices that use electricity. I will sit very quietly in a chair and breathe very shallow as to reduce my CO2 emissions.
What are you doing to honor the earth?

I'm leaving my car running and idling all day in the parking lot.

I made an Earth Day Resolution:
Never again will i "injure" the Earth by using a shovel to move any of it........

So, uh, when's Earth Day?
-
Instead of damaging Earth for Earth Day, I'm going to damage myself:
I'm going to smoke a lot of pot, drink a lot of beer AND hard liquor, eat a quarter of shrooms, drop 4 tabs of ecstasy and 8 tabs of acid, and sniff a lot of ether... and I'll see where I wake up after Earth Day and pollute it.

Cutting two very large trees down that seem to be the source of Blue Heron Mating Rituals. (Just Kidding you greenies!)

Rip,
I hear that Blue Heron tastes just like chicken.

Well, our town has been adding all these new high-tech artificial turf soccer fields around town (much more eco-friendly than real grass, go figure) so I felt it was a shame not to go play on them. Think of all of the hundreds of real grass blades I saved from trampling!

Gargoyle, you should have spent the day pasting artificial dandelions on the fake grass (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The Earth is resilient. It has survived large metheorites, supernovas, ice ages, floods, etc. It managed to floorish every time.
What it suffers from now is an excess of humans.
We should continue wasting the resources, heating and poisoning the athmosphere until the earth becomes unsurvivable. Then the number of humans will sharply decrease and in a few million years the earth will revert to its original beauty.
It will happen anyway, so may as well not worry and enjoy while it lasts.

Miko2d - I like your approach to environmental protectionism. Although I suspect you are joking.
It's kind of like having repeated one night stands without using a condom. You know the inevitable will happen, and you will catch something nasty (and quite possible terminal) - but hey 'enjoy it while it lasts'. And if you happen to drastically alter the lives of the people around you - who cares?
A great philosophy to live you life by. Except, of course, it is completely and utterly bonkers.
Let's remove all restrictions on industrial emissions - pollute the seas and land with heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, radiation. Because it will make all industrially made products cheaper.
And then we can 'enjoy it while it lasts.'
Fortunately, some people believe that the human race does have a future, and it is inextricably intwined with sustainability.

You forgot to add "while crushing an entire case of CFC containing styrofoam cups..."

SW, be sure to piss on some trees when you're done.

George Carlin had this joke routine about 'saving the earth'. He'd say, "What's this about saving the earth? It's been around billions of years, been hit by comets, survived this, that, and the other thing. Hey, the earth isn't going anywhere ... we are."
Always loved that. Gonna kill ourselves right off this planet. Save the Dollar! Save the DOLLAR!!!!

I can't remember the biologist's name, but he said, "We may be proof that intelligence is an evolutionary dead-end," or something to that effect. Wish I could remember his name ...

Ya,ya,ya, but what did YOU do on earth day to honor the earth? Kiss a whale? Just what did YOU do to show your feelings for the "Earth"???
-
On earth day I plan on going out and cutting down a tree, looking for a protestor and throwing rotten vegetables or eggs at. Turning on anything that uses electricity even that plug in thingy my wife has (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Oh and kick the dog, flush the toilet 30 times an hour. And if possible track down these people that made this day.
Funny if they are so concerned about conservation why do it on just one day? Total hypocrits

Wow, that's like sooo cool.
You're been all rebelious and all. Like, far out.
Hey, like, next 4th July, why don't we, like, burn some US flags?
Huh, huh, huh, that would make us look so baaaaad. And rebelious. It's like, we don't give a s*** about nothing. We're sooo cool.
More rebeliousness!

I have been in 3 earthquakes, 2 floods, 5 tornados', 1 forest fire (started by lighting), and had one near fatal disease. I'm not being rebellious. The earth is trying to kill me, and I want some payback.
-
Dowding,
some of us simply do not subscribe to the environmental "the sky is falling" cult. That's all.
-
But.... the sky IS falling. A little piece of it fell and hit me in the head.
Actually, I'm not sure which of the bird cults I wonder about more - the Chicken Little "we're all about to die" cult, or the Ostrich "hey man, I don't see a problem" cult (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

There's 2 things that i've seen in my life that were the worst polution I've ever seen. One was man made and the other was natural. The first would be back in the 70's in Galveston, Tx for about 4 years following an oil spill down by Mexico. There was tar and crap on the beaches and patches of oil floating in the water. The 2nd worst polution I've ever seen was from Mt. St. Hellen a few months after it errupted all the ash finaly made it;s way down to Texas via the stratosphere, from Washington STATE! But by far the worst disaster I've seen was hurricane Alicia back in '83. Houston looked like a war zone after about 7 or 8 hours.
I wonder how many pointy head needle nosed intellectual enviromental types have ever actualy been 100 miles from anywhere out in Nature camping or hunting. Nature will take care of it self...
