Happy Earth Day!
In honor of Earth Day, I made a committment to use as few resources as possible for 24 hours. This was a relatively easy fête accomplis because I’ve been quite ill for the past few days, and have pretty much been lying around doing nothing but perfecting the art of staring stuporously into space with a half box of tissues stuffed in my nose.
I confess to using a bit of electricity to heat the hot water I needed for brewing copious cupsful of herbal tea. Thank the tea gods for reminding me to stock up on all those little bags of tasty goodness the last time I went to my local, el cheapo, past-pull-date store. I’ve been consuming 2 cups of tea per hour, hoping to flush out the EvilEvil virus, and attempting to satisfy the aggressively insatiable thirst I develop whenever I’m thusly stricken. My bladder is unimpressed.
If, like me, you’ve forgotten how Earth Day came into being (hey, it’s been almost 40 years now — who can blame us?), I offer up this short and informative blurb, written by Senator Gaylord Nelson, principle founder of Earth Day. Click here to become enlightened.
Google always has the niftiest logos for all sorts of celebratory events. Behold their creation for Earth Day 2008:
