This Fragile Planet

Wishing you all a magnificent Earth Day! Please do something today that benefits our Mother, she has been so kind and forgiving to us in the past. It is a shame that in the 200000 years or so that there have been humans that we have gotten worse, not better, at conserving natural resources and protecting our island home. We can make i-pods the size of a fucking fingernail, but yet can't manage to make our cars any more fuel efficient or implement protections for endangered species or quit burning the rain forests to the ground. As a species, we suck at maintaining our environment, even in as much as making sure that it is not toxic and detrimental to our survival. Man o man, how the hell are we the epitome of evolution? Fish do a better job at finding a balance with their ecosystem and they have five second memories. For the last forty years, hippies across the country have made it their noble effort to have general society recognize how important it is to respect the Earth. So please what you can this Earth Day--recycle your dead batteries, install ecofriendly lightbulbs in the lamps in your home, take the bus or train to work. Anything, from the smallest effort to the largest movement, counts a little bit in our war against ourselves.
