Don't like Earth Day, how about celebrating this holiday: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fNTQKlw-sGs

In a world where "Save the polar bears" through buying insignificant GREEN products sells headlines over obvious large-scale, meaningful actions... your take on Earthday was very refreshing.

Jeremy - Outstanding summary of where we are today and how troubled environmentalists have become tired of the commercialization and short lived insignificant actions of "just a Day" event.


"the collective consciousness of the world is changing." because of people like you sharing the true voice of overwhelming environmental problems we face and the media chooses to ignore for their own marketing agendas.

While I am also "no longer a fan of Earth Day." I am now a fan of yours ;-)

I share your disquiet. Unfortunately, our species seems to have the collective behavior of lemmings and locusts, with an overtone of occaisional genocide. Even as each environmental warning flag goes up we keep marching toward an inevitable Malthusian conclusion. Until crimes against the world environment are treated as capital crimes of the first order, we will waltz gaily to Armageddon to the tune of revving chainsaws. I dream of a day when marines are sent to occupy and guard the perimeters of rainforests rather than desert oil fields, when navy ships seek out and sink illegal drift netters, suburban sprawl is cleared back into forest and field, golf courses turned into organic farms.
