Earth Day Is Bullshit

They need to all be Earth Days.

Special days are for stuff you treat like crap for 364 days of the year and then think you can make up to with one Special Day of flowers and favors and whatnot. Take Father's Day, for example. That set of BBQ tools you got him this year? Not making up for the other 364. Same with Earth Day.

Luckily you live in Seattle where we like to think we're more aware of the Earth than places that aren't Seattle and we're probably right. They all are Earth Days here, so go ahead and ignore the official Day. Don't climb to the top of Gasworks and spray a case of hairspray into the air or anything, but Seattlest is officially giving you a pass on the day. Care about the Earth the whole year long, and buy your father a "#1 Dad" mug or something this weekend.

Actually, forget all that. C'mon, it's only "Earth Day" once a year - You can recognize one day a year, right? Go fish styrofoam out of Lake Union or don't drive or something. Maybe go to this badass conference.
