    nah, Uranus was busy... so I've employed Halle Berry to do a Black Hole instead.

    I'm doing that. We REALLY need a new refrigerator, ours has been on Death Row for a long time. I was one of the few Texans lucky enough to score an appliance rebate and I just bought a new refrigerator! Hasn't been delivered yet but they will haul off the old one and recycle it.

    My prince rides his bike to work every day unless the weather's really bad.

    Earth Day seems like a good day to take the advice of that really excellent band from Seattle, Fur Jam:

    Bobby Jindal takes a helicopter to church every Sunday. I wish I was joking, but I'm not. A helicopter. To church. And he justifies it by saying church attendance is work related. It's hard to fathom why Louisiana is a punchline... lol

    On a more personal note, my wife and I grow our own vegetables, we carpool to work, don't use plastic bags, do use eco-friendly lightbulbs, don't leave the faucet running while we brush our teeth, and we recycle as much of our waste as we can. We do what we can do... it's not much, but it's a start.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    I carry trash bags with me when hiking, and carry out trash that I find.

    I'm working so not doing anything special for Earth Day, but we do all kinds of things for the earth on a regular basis...I just thought to celebrate today, I would share these awesome shots I got of our beautiful Earth this morning.

    In a way, I'm glad there is Earth Day because it helps raise some awareness. But I honestly don't celebrate one day for the earth. Everyday counts. Everyday I try to at least think about if not do something helpful for the plant and be grateful for this planet that sustains us.

    Amen. What I do, I do year round.

    I am a piss poor activist and I usually procrastinate my way out participating in even the simplest tasks of signing petitions and email/calling my reps.
    :blush:

    I console myself with the fact that I grow large amounts of produce and live a very minimalist lifestyle in the country. I don't buy or have things that most people buy and have regularly and I recycle the old fashioned way, by fixing, repurposing, and doing without. A small thing I do that I am always proud of is that I don't buy gifts for the kids in my family, I build them castles and boats and rocketships from cardboard boxes. I posted a pic of the latest one in the "high right now" thread.
