Earth Day Round-Up ...

Brilliant! ;-)

Cafe Hayek: What Earth Day Means to Me: "My son, Thomas (a sixth grader), has a homework assignment today: write an essay entitled 'What Earth Day Means to Me.' I will help him out with my own essay. Earth Day, to me, means an opportunity to express thanks for all the ways that capitalism makes our lives and environment cleaner and healthier."

Earth Day 2009 - The Big Picture - Boston.com: "Today is Earth Day, a day set aside for awareness and appreciation of the Earth's environment, and our roles within it ..."

Groupthink - Obama: Shovel-Ready on Lenin's Birthday / Earth Day: "A symbol of suffering and sacrifice for The Greater Good™. Used in hard labor therapy or in self-criticism sessions to redeem potential thought crimes. Every citizen must keep his or her shovel in good repair at all times and bring it to the railroad station if called to duty by the Commissar. The shovel is an important part of Earth Day festival, or Sacrificial Earth Shoveling Day, celebrating the death and rebirth of Great Lenin."

Inhabitat - Screw Earth Day! One Day is For Amateurs: "For some, Earth Day is a reconciliatory one day affair - a way to make all of your eco-wrongdoings from the past year disappear. While Earth Day has certainly provided critical impetus in years past for environmental awareness and action, it is not enough. In order to truly affect change, Earth Day must be every day - which is why Grist has started its Screw Earth Day campaign!"
