Earth Day is also my birfday. I'll be getting drunk and then recycling the empties, but I do that already.

urm . . . going to the White Sox / Tampa Bay game -- at night -- under the lights -- but at least I'm taking the CTA.

Does it count that, year round, I'm trying to recycle more plastic and aluminum, and printing 4-pages-to-a-sheet at work whenever possible? Also, I've given up driving to the grocery store -- I just walk (at least when it isn't -35 outside).

I'm going to do laundry at the laundromat that just installed high-efficiency washers. Exciting, no?

welp b/c I'm a big dork, I'm going to say it-- I kind of pretend Earth Day is every day. I know there's more I could do (compost, for example), but otherwise I'm always aware of how my actions might impact the earth. I do my best to help keep her clean and healthy.

I am going to change my car's oil and dump the used in the sewer like I always do.. What came from the ground goes back into the ground.

So I'm walking to the train this morning and I sees this guy rapping the planet and I says to him I says "Hey buddy what's the matter with you it's Earth Day for petes sake" boy did his face turn red he was really embarrassed I think. Turns out he was just urinating on a bush, which I think is technically considered green. Now who's embarrassed.
