do you recognize earth day? for those that said yes, do you formally celebrate it?
personally, i don't recognize it because i believe it to be a holiday manufactured by the pharmaceutical companies.
reuse, recycle, reclaim. really? because last i checked people don't do any of those things.
point of this thread? i think earth day is a sham and people who buy into the notion that earth day matters are nothing but tree hugging fish eaters.
-
Pretty big holiday for me, I will spend about 10 hours picking up trash along the highway and recycling what I gather up. One planet, one chance, you know?
-
What and when is this Earth Day you speak of?
-
it's april 22nd. my office does a big celebration for it. a lot of people get excited and turn green for a couple of weeks.
-
it kind of pisses me off, if you can't already tell.
-
Did you know LaFarge gets people to pay them to pick up their sorted trash, and then LaFarge recycles what they can (for profit) and burns the rest making concrete? It's like paying someone to flush the toilet for you.

Damn, that sucks. You should probably just make the most out of the situation or something. Maybe you could bring some chips and guacamole to work that day and just chow down.

Well, yeah, if flushing your toilet is as inconvenient as driving down to the recycling center and then coming back home and making a batch of concrete.

K-State has determined:
1. No significant change in Nitrogen levels in soil over a 500 year period.
2. Higher CO2 in air actually helps certain food crops become more drought resistant.

there's no such thing as a locally sourced avocado in the state of kansas

Well you could just throw everything in the trash for less money.

Yeah, but then nothing gets recycled. I wouldn't expect somebody to come recycle my stuff for me and not make some kind of profit off of it.

i'd certainly hate to contribute to the myriad of problems that earth day is solving by hauling an avocado all the way from southern mexico to NE KS just so i can make a bowl of guacamole.

The avocado has already been hauled to the grocery store, and if nobody buys it, it's just going to rot.

and by me buying it, i support the practice of hauling it to the grocery store. i'm not sure what kind of earth day supporter you are, but sorry, these colors don't bleed.

Scenario 1: pay $10/mo, throw everything in one dumpster
Scenario 2: pay $20/mo, painstakingly sort all your waste

Maybe you should just go for some locally grown Monsanto-free soy bean hummus with homemade organic oven toasted tortilla chips :lick:

Earth should have a day. It's not Earth's fault if that day is abused by some.

I guess we don't need to worry about climate change then! (The oil companies are running low on talking points, but good work finding a few stragglers to trot out here.)

So the research at K-State was funded by Oil Companies?
Plus the climate hacker (who scoffs that at the notion that he is related to anything in the corporate, political anglo-sphere) released more hacked emails. Wow, just wow, what a bunch of frauds those so called "scientests" were.

the problem with earth day is that its proponents have lost focus and the agenda has become muddled.

Tree City USA!
That's where I live. It's not really named that, but that is the title the town has been given like every yr since forever ago from the ppl that give out the title. A well defended title. Other towns try to rise up and step to this, but we smack those bitches down on the reg.
Plant a tree then enjoy that avocado. They equal out.
Also, I recycle. What now motherfuckers?

I don't think I want to live in a world without avocados at the grocery store. Luckily, I won't have to because almost nobody shares your opinion.

Wow, just wow, at still bringing up those emails. Whatever.
I have no idea if the oil companies are funding the K-State research. Maybe. Corporations give research grants all the time. I don't really care who funded this. I actually believe that higher CO2 helps crops become more drought resistant, if that's what you say the research says. You see, I believe science. The weirdos are the ones who believe the oil company propaganda instead of the science showing higher CO2 means higher sea levels, higher temperatures, more violent storms, and unpredictable weather patterns. (But crops will be more drought resistant!)

you mean companies like koch industries? funding stuff at ksu? no. way.

When I was a little kid McDonalds gave out free trees on earth day as the happy meal toy. I got one and planted it and it is now full grown :D
-
I am going to repack used shell casings with chowder and molten lead while I watch NASCAR in my family room.

Actually, I just checked, and there is no NASCAR race on earth day. Sorry, michigancat, but you are going to have to change those plans. Maybe American Idol will be on that night. What is on TV on Monday nights in April?

Just imagine the carbon footprint of one NASCAR race :D

After growing up in an area with a polluted river because of a landfill that was placed next to it I don't think recycling is a bad idea..
Groundwater contamination should be a concern of many.
But yeah you don't need to make a big deal of it at the office.
Throwing out the recycling bins, setting up the service, and letting everybody know should suffice for the year and thereafter.

In my town, the trash company put out big recycling bins at their place for the glass they wouldn't take with normal recycling. People saved up their glass, dropped it off, and felt good about themselves for recycling.
Newspaper did some investigative journalism - turns out it wasn't cost effective for the company to recycle it, so they just melted the glass and put it in the landfills.

When is Earth day? I might not drive my new gas guzzler to work that day.

Frustration over the LaSalle loss. Cabin fever. Hopefully we land some more studs in recruiting and it will pass.

I recycle when it is convenient for me.

Limiting the size of landfills anywhere and everywhere should be a goal as water tributaries happen to be in close proximity to just about every place there is.

not really but if hyperbole helps support your point then don't let me get in the way
-
Is it the recycling that bugs you or just the Earth day crap at work?
Oh and I think you know better than to just think there's just a few rivers and lakes spread out across the country. Think about all the ponds, creeks, aquifers etc. that are all over the United States.

NSF is a surrogate of Standard Oil, duh.
Scientists dependent on government grants are the only credible parties here. Clearly the solution to stop CO2 (which presents imminent danger to the planet) is to tax its continued production
