Jim and me and Eddie decided to do something special for the occasion, because we love nature and all. So we got up early for a Saturday, and me, I think we did our part to make this world a better place.
11:30 AM---Global Warming. Put a few cases of Bud on ice. Cools the environment.
12:30 PM---Recycling. Threw the empties from the first case in the blue can. (Blue is for recycling.)
12:31---Global Warming 2. Walked, did not drive, to the 7-Eleven. Got more ice. (Also more Bud.)
12:45---Ozone. Oxygen causes ozone. You could look it up. Lit up some bigass Cuban stogies Eddie got from his cousin in Miami and killed some oxygen, which is also a carcinogen. (That's why they sell anti-oxidants.)
2:00---Recycled some more Bud cans.
3:30---Wildlife. Caught some fish in local crick. (Used some of Eddie's mom's tortillas as bait. Excellent.) Removed excess flesh (fillets) from fish but then released them back into the wild. Jim shot at some feral cats, which kill more birds than pollution does, but didn't hit any.
4:45---Buried, did not litter environment with case of Bud empties.
6:00---Genetically Altered Foods. Drove back home (slowly, as it increases gas mileage and besides Eddie was really faced) and barbequed up the fish. (Excellent.) Ate no genetically altered foods and started the barbeque with recycled paper. Also didn't use plates, as it would have wasted water to wash them. Oh and I forgot, got more ice on the way home, at maybe 6:23.
8:00---Decided to do no more driving (Eddie was kinda passed out, although he could answer questions if it was a "yes" or a "no" question, and besides he's the only one with a license even though it's suspended). So we turned off all the excess lights and ordered up the WWF Death Cage Match on pay-per-view.
Whew. What a warm glow, being part of the solution and not the problem. This is the only planet we've got. We were saying it's a shame Earth Day only comes once a year, but you know, that's silly. Jim and Eddie are coming back over tomorrow after Eddie drives his mom to church. Every day can be Earth Day!
As much as Mr. Van Dyke encourages us to trust the assertions made by others on this board, some of his Earth Day ideas just didn't feel right. Pro wrestling?
ReplyDeleteSo I Googled 'Earth Day' - and as usual, Tom's got it right. The first entry says:
"Celebrate Earth Day with WWF. Ways to make every day Earth Day."
I don't know about making every day Earth Day - though there was a time when I was fairly committed to Wind Day - but no one can deny that every day's a new opportunity to learn with TVD and TRC.
That sounds like a picture-perfect earth day and if I ever have the time and money in appropriate proportions, I'm crashing that sucker.
