C4AC #2 – Earth Day

For weeks leading up to today a lot of people and companies jumped onto the Earth Day bandwagon with “Let’s Go Green”. But how many people and or companies will be saying the same chant tomorrow and or 6 months from now… Not that many.
I’m tried of hearing people perching about we gotta do something but none of those people will do anything. Example: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans STILL has not recovered or been rebuilt 100%, the place looks like it was just been hit a week ago not years. Where did all the money that poured in to help out get put? Guessing, someones back pocket 
.
Earth Hour and Earth Day to me isn’t a trend but away to make us humans to get a head check to remember we only do have one planet to live on (at this moment). Sure Mother Nature does like giving us curve balls with disasters but we humans aren’t helping out much either. The idea about going green and getting an electric car sounds great but where are we gonna get the electric.. err power from and are you willing to pay more electric per month for the use of a car?
The other day when I was walking around my area, I noticed some new houses being built all around 4000sqft with maybe 15 by 10 back yard and a 3 car garage. Do we really need that much space?
For me I’d worry about lack of yard to relax in, how many bathrooms are there to clean, how much longer would it take to clean the place or the cost on heating the place in the winter. 
Today also marks Pixel’s (one of four my cats) birthday. It doesn’t seem like 8 years have gone by so fast. I still remember the day she came home. How small and pure black fluff that she was now she is the leader of the other two girl cats (its funny, when one gets into trouble the other two are near by also getting into trouble). You can tell she can’t wait to be alpha cat once my eldest cat passes on so she can boss my other two girl cats around some more. Being stuck at home this whole month has made me become the crazy cat lady, I swear!!!
How was your Earth Day?
Hi There! Welcome to Paddling-Geek.Net (PGN for short).

I’ve been making bottle-cap magnets for some time, and recycling pretty much anything I can in the school recycling bins. I walk pretty much everywhere I can (although the need to drive isn’t that great, considering pretty much everything I need to do is located on campus). Little things add up.
Your cat looks adorable!!

The willowbrook mall had a bunch of art done for earth day.
My daughter and I enjoyed looking at the various art.

Hehehe that’s awesome that you have a cat named Pixel! :P
I didn’t do anything for Earth Day myself. Wait…no. I think I raked a bit around the porch to get the butts from the last tenets off the ground. That is just so damn gross. Bleck!
Your cats get along? Man.. mine are freaking sisters and although they used to be buddy, buddy.. they hardly tolerate each other now. We have about two knock down, drag out, cats going sketchy with huge tail brawls a day that we know of.
Anywho, I totally understand your point regarding earth day and other such initiatives, but I’m a big proponent that if you get someone who contributes even a little towards something they would have otherwise ignored, it’s a win. Every little bit counts, right?
