Happy Earth Day!

Once again it is Earth Day.  And once again this means that for one whole week out of the year everyone is an environmentalist.  Though that may sound pretty shitty to say, it is still very accurate.  Today is the day, and this week is the week, that you will hear and see more about doing your part in protecting our planet and it's future (along with the futures of our lineage, et al).  So far I saw a bunch of stuff on The Today Show and if you go to their website they have two teeny tiny areas that discuss how to "go green".  Of course, going green for them is earning green, so how much of their crappy 30 second interviews with "environmental specialists" I buy into is only half as much as I am willing to trust in my neighbor to not wake me up in the middle of the night by hacking and coughing his lungs up whilst yelling at his dog.  Another channel that has decided to focus all broadcasting on Earth Day associated broadcasting is Current.  Now don't get me wrong, I love this channel and they run viewer created shorts on the environment all year long.  But today is different.  Today pretty much every single show is for Earth Day.  And they admit it on their website.  I would actually recommend checking this site out the next time you have a question about a current event (hence the channel name).

Anyway, so for the lovely Earth Day, I present you with an Earth Day/Earth Week post.  Are you ready?  "Cause here we go:
