Ok, not a traditional "disgustabunk" and more of a Random Rant but I'm posting it anyway. Earth Day was yesterday, its a day when aging hippies and new-age hippie wannabes go out and complain about how people are ruining the environment. Why is this a problem? Because Earth Day is a politically motivated holiday intended divert the attention of the anti-war movement in the late 60s. That's not all, it has largely replaced Arbor Day (which is tomorrow) as the nations "green" holiday.
Why is Arbor Day better than Earth Day? Because while Earth Day is about standing around complaining Arbor Day is about going out and doing something positive, specifically, planting a tree. This is something I've done every year for the past 7 years, maybe not always on Arbor Day, but the last 7 springs I have planted a tree in my yard. So go out and plant a tree this spring, and don't give any recognition to the political enterprise that is Earth Day
In closing, I'll quote a like-minded blogger:
So screw Earth Day. Blow it off. Wait a week and go out and plant a tree and actually do something real for the environment on Arbor Day.
