How to observe Earth Day

Today is Lenin's Birthday--I mean Earth Day--and I figure I ought to share some tips about how well meaning people really ought to help preserve our planet for the future.

Tip 1; instead of taking transit, drive a 3/4 ton diesel pickup or Suburban to work. It's actually a more efficient way to get to work than taking the bus or train.

Tip 2: eat a nice big portion of grass fed beef--or perhaps a critter you shot--for dinner. Grasslands need to be grazed to be healthy, environmentally speaking, and the balance between grasslands and herbivores can be maintained by shooting a portion of the herbivores.

Tip 3: Cut down a tree or two. There is no sweeter song on Lenin's Birthday ("oops," Earth Day) than the buzz of a chainsaw. Plus, some trees need to be burned to be replanted, and it's a great way to cook your dinner.

Tip 4: Buy your wife a fur coat, sparing the environment from wastes from producing polyester and other synthetics.

Tip 5: Whatever you do, don't buy a hybrid or electric car, a windmill, a photovoltaic system, or other boondoggles loved by the environmental left. You can reduce your impact on the environment far more and spend far less money.

Tip 6: make sure your representatives get a note asking them to stop federal funding for a number of environmental boondoggles like ethanol, hybrids, transit, windmills, and so on.

Tip 7: if there is a statue of Lenin in the neighborhood, defile it in some way.

Again, if you want to do something for the environment, just do the OPPOSITE of what the environmental left suggests, and you won't be too far off.

Sounds like some very good suggestions! The first one sounds a bit on the expensive side though.

so because it's the "liberal media" they can't possibly say anything right? hasn't God in his wisdom given truth to believers and unbelievers alike? this world is a gift, and frankly we are being horrible stewards of it. as believers we should be the ones leading the charge to protect this wonderful creation.

Esten, I think that's precisely why this post was written. The "liberal media" doesn't exactly have the corner on the market for good suggestions!

Esten, my post mentioned nothing about the media at all. Nice knee jerk response, but it hardly had anything to do with my post.

I would agree that we are, in general, not being terribly good stewards of the earth, though. Instead of environmentally friendly technologies like the Powerstroke F250, we're ruining the environment with city buses, light rail, and the infrastructure needed to run them. My post was simply a call to repentance from the terribly destructive mindset of the "environmental" left.
