So, Friday was Earth Day, and like any God-fearing American, I tried to ignore it and hoped it would pass while I tucked my head in the sand, hiding from a much-too-early, much-too-powerful hurricane caused by global warming.

Instead, I merely procrastinated a bit and now I will complete [personal profile] antarcticlust's Earth Day Meme!

Earth Day Meme

Please take a moment to do this meme yourself and pass it along. Express your stance on environmental issues without fear of being called a tree-hugging dirt-worshiper. Explain to people that you're a perfectly normal person, and these are perfectly normal values. Believe that individuals can make a difference. Assert your values in an intelligent, informed, and meaningful way. Reclaim environmentalism from bad science, derogatory or dismissive conservatives, and radical zealots! Earth Day should be a bench-mark by which to measure your own practices from year to year, and an opportunity to mindfully educate yourself and others. Next year, check your answers and see if you've made changes or improvement!

Please list five things you do regularly with the environment in mind:

1) I dream of one day owning a hybrid car. For now, I own little four-cylinders that get good gas mileage.

2) I recycle as the law specifies, though I am a bit lazy at times.

3) I try not to drip gasoline on the ground when I fill up.

4) I regularly write to my elected officials and to corporations informing them of my environmental policies, and I vote! (But mostly, I write them about political issues.)

5) I buy free-range, organic eggs. I try to avoid fast food except I have a powerful weakness for McDonald's breakfast sandwiches.

Please identify five Earth Day Resolutions to improve by next year. No goal is too small or large!

1) I will eat much less meat, unless it is free-range and organic.

2) I will not cry about my lack of central air and remind myself that A/C is bad.  I'll also air-dry/hang my clothes instead of drying them whenever I'm not feeling horribly lazy.

3) I will start recycling office/printer paper and cereal boxes and other paperboard, which I totally throw in the garbage now.

4) I will use my embarrassing Starbuck's mug so I don't waste paper cups. I'll stop buying napkins or buy recycled ones.

5) I will purchase my veggies and fruit from local peeps at farmer's markets n' shite.

I feel like I'm totally corrupting you. :)

I'll have to do something for you, like buy you a subscription to Maxim or whatever it is boys like these days. Or, my ass can make you a steak. :P

As long as it's a MAXIM printed on recycled paper or a steak from a free-range, happy cow whose had a long and fruitful life.
