Earth Day 2010

It's Earth Day again, and you know what that means.... A day full of reminders from passionate individuals of how you are not just failing yourself, your familly, your species, but also the very planet you live on.
Don't get me wrong, I love the planet and a good portion of the things on it, but this annual celebration of half hearted attempts to be a little less harmful to the planet I find to be empty and half-baked. The 1 out of 10 people that realize it's Earth Day will harp on other 9 about environmentalism on a very shallow level (make sure bring your own bags to the store, turn off the faucet when you brush your teeth) to the point of making people want to harm the environment to "get back at the damn Tree-Huggers".

Try to educate, not annoy your fellow inhabitants of Earth.  Thats all I am saying.

Some helpful environmental links that I like and Follow:
