My son did wear a green shirt to school today for Earth day.

I didnt say anything to him becaus I want him to grow into a responsible balanced and conservative adult.

I did tell his mother, he should have worn a brown shirt because that is the color of motor oil.

Gradually all those days are getting on my nerves. It seems there is another special day every day now. They are becoming empty rituals.

I will do NOTHING for earth day except my average day. I don't do anything based on ecofreako movements that seek to pat themselves on the back for being earth friendly.

Doesn't have to be extreme at all.
Just don't litter, be clean in public and actually do what we should do daily anyway, right?
Any strange stuff beyond that I would of course agree with your view on.

I figured I'd go home and fire up the chain saw. I have some timber I need to drop anyway, this seems like a better time then most. Afterwards, I'll fire up the dirt bike and put some miles on in the woods.

Yeah, it's mindless symbolism...but that pretty much sums up earth day in the first place.
Apparently this mindless symbolism is enough to inspire in you equally mindless and passive aggressive behavior. So I guess Earth Day says as much about its staunch opposition as it does its supporters.

I have to give a compliment where it's due: This alone puts you head and shoulders above the rest of the lot in this thread. If you don't really care, no one will make you care. If you do, that's cool. Why does proactive behavior inspire such ugliness in people?

Firing up the muscle car, filling it with gas and opening it up on the back roads.

I also don't pollute. I keep my trash in the car until I reach my destination and throw it in the garbage there. I use the mulch feature on my mower and always pick up any garbage that blows onto my lawn. I do this because I'm a responsible adult, not because of earth day.
