Our son Mikey came running to me and Tony this weekend. "On Earth Day, if you go see this movie they will plant a tree for each person who goes to the movie!!!" Well I know this is his way of saying, "hey I want to go see this movie" without directly saying so. Mikey often takes the indirect approach to try to get what he wants. But Tony looks at him and says, "Really, so they want you to get in your car, pollute on the way to the movies and then use electricity to watch the movie on Earth Day?" He went on to say, "doesn't sound very Earth Friendly to me!" This does silence Mikey. But Tony was right. It was crazy. It would have been far better to say, for everyone who stays home, turns off the TV and computers we will plant a tree. But capitalism takes over! Americans are so blind to it, that they buy into it.
So while we are not tree huggers, we will do something on Earth Day. We will turn off the TV and the computers from 6pm-10pm and sit down to have a family game night!
If to go take the recycling into the garage!
