What are your plans for Earth Day?

Posted on 04/22/2007 7:31:45 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Today is April 22, Earth Day.


Am I the only one who says WHO CARES???
Has it become "cool" to go green? I see it everywhere and I just don't understand.

The reason I ask is because I am a television producer. Recently in a meeting of story ideas.. the idea of how to go green was brought up.

Yeah yeah we'll tell people about different ways to save the environment, one person said. Keep in mind.. I live in a Very Conservative area. These people aren't your usual liberal tree huggers.

Why is Global Warming such a big issue? Or is it a fake issue? Global warning probably does exist. But there's nothing we can do about it. Global warning, from what I've read, happens on other planets like Saturn too.

I tend to think it's a made up issue. Shouldn't immigration be the number 1 issue? How about Iraq?

How about a Governor going 91 miles an hour down a highway with no regard for anyone's safety?

How about the fact that some kid just shot up a school.. and now gun grabbers will be going after our guns more than ever?

Muslims worship the moon, and treehuggers worship mother earth. Both groups are equally as dangerous to freedom loving Americans everywhere.

So in light of all this.. what are you doing for Earth Day? I'm gonna go gas up my SUV, fire up the gas grill, put gas in my SUV, and chop down a few trees.

I just watched a segment on Fox where they talked about how to go green in your home.

I watched it and learned some things.

Leave unused appliances plugged in ALL the time.

Wash all your clothes on the heat cycle.

Always dry dishes using the Dry cycle. Never let them dry on their own.

And don't forget to mow the grass today!!!!!

I’m going to enjoy the day as we try to do every single day on God’s green earth. We will barbeque some chicken. We will cut our grass. We will enjoy our yard. We will let Mother Nature take care of the earth as she has done forever and a day.

I’m disappointed nobody has planned to sacrifice a goat in front of their golden effigy of Al Gore for Earth Day.

I’m cutting down a tree that’s grown to close to the house, burning leaves, using my gas edger and best of all grilling steaks in charcoal operated pit all while leaving every light in the house on and the a/c turned to full blast. I only wish I could use jean kerri’s private airplane to fly around in (well I know the plane really belongs to the poodle’s master).

I’ll be traveling the countryside with the top down and the A/C on high pulling over every now and then to get out of my idling car in order to chop down a few trees and feed beans to the local cows in the fields.

Think I’ll take a trip in the MotorHome that has a diesel engine and gets 8MPG.

I’m mowing and weed eating the lawns. Afterward I’ll fire up the gas powered leaf blower to clean up a bit. Then I’m off to the shop to use a bunch of power tools to cut up some dead trees and turn them into cabinets.
I ought to be good and hungry by then...BBQ sounds good.

Earth Day : The birthday of V.I. Lenin.
The first Earth Day was his 100th birthday


Earth Day is brought to you by the Father of all Lies.

My earth day plans are to go and burn-up some gasoline so I can get to work on schedule and to increase my carbon foot print by buying more..

I plan to commemorate Earth Day by running my sprinklers all day, eating a nice fat steak this evening (after firing up my massive new charcoal grill) and giving dirty looks to everyone and anyone who may feel oppressed by my kind. I will snicker at flowers, and try to contribute (in my own personal way) to the abundance of greenhouse gases. Cabbage usually does the trick.

Oh, and I'll take my evil minivan on many small trips -- like a drive to the mail box (even though its Sunday).

My plans include (1) mixing up some insecticide to spray around my house and garden to kill off some very obnoxious insects so I can (2) fire up my grill(s) to cook some new juicy steaks and drink some adult beverages (without being bothered by said insects) after (3) washing and waxing my “performance enhanced” pick-up truck.

How ‘bout that?

Grill some burgers using propane, drink beer, pull out some little trees that keep growing too close to my house. Such an evil SOB I am.

I didn't realize it was Earth Day, but I spent most of the afternoon outside with the kids enjoying the global warming. Is that acceptable?

I’ll be burning brush and digging stumps with my tractor. When I run out of brush and stumps, then I’ll fire up the chainsaw.
