I am with you 97% on this entry. I protest holidays that people think they are honoring but are really bullshitting themselves, and therefore, the true purpose of whatever holiday by completely ignoring them. Because every month should be black history month. Every week should be shark week. And every day should be earth day.
In fact, I totally farted while reading this.
The only 3% I am not on board for is the accepting plastic bags part. I actually took my laundry detergent (my sole purchase) out of the plastic bag I had asked the cashier not to put it in. But I did that because I would do that any day. I had completely forgotten it was earth day, and the detergent had a handle.
I would quibble with your declaration of April 22 as an arbitrarily chosen date, but your knowledge on the subject of Earth Day suggests you already read its wikipedia page. However, I agree that eating a salad and drinking some water are two of the most bullshit celebrations of earth I have ever heard.

...and it was so loud that he woke himself up!
Even adorable, fat, lazy kittens are destroying the Planet. They must be eliminated.
I was mostly kidding on the plastic bags. I hate crinkly plastic with a passion, which is why I'm kind of short on cat-poop receptacles right about now... I need to accept some plastic bags STAT. I got a fake (green) plastic bag from some random place I bought some candy from and it was fantastic because not only was it not very crinkly, it crumpled into the tiniest of balls.
I want some more of those. It was made out of corn or something. I'm assuming that it's made out of corn since my dad has this mug his old job gave him that was crafted from corn. Nobody uses it though since it's weird-shaped and someone always had something unpleasant rotting away in it. Corn-plastic mugs freak me out, too. NEEDS MORE GLASS.
Regular ol' plastic freaks me out, too. It can destroy the Planet all it wants, but I don't want it chafing against my dry, dry mummy hands and giving me the willies.

corn-plastic bags? have yet to encounter these. hmmm. I guess they're made out of the same stuff as those corn-styrofoam packing chips that melt when you hose them down with water?
PS - every week SHOULD be Shark Week. Why is it in July/August? Is that, like, the height of ~shark season~? If I were a shark, I'd feast all day, every day, all year long -- I wouldn't even care because my thirst for blood would be that strong and I would be so wily and badass that no one could stop me.
