it's my hubbie's birthday and around here everyday is Earth Day.

It is also my birthday. Not anything to celebrate though. Closer to the grave and all that.

I thought that "Everybody turn off all the lights @ 8:00 thingy" was earth day. I'm so confused.... :dontget:

Thanks for the heads-up. Nothing like burning a little powder to celebrate a life event. Of course it does not go over so well at weddings, wakes, births, or divorces.

In case some gardening is in your plans for tomorrow - this is a great place for supplies!

At Gardener's Supply, we believe gardening nourishes the body, elevates the spirit, builds community and makes the world a better place. And there's no better day to put those words – our mission – into practice than Earth Day, April 22.

Earth day HERO! NOT! Just ANOTHER leftist hypocrite!
Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend
Ira Einhorn preached against Vietnam War and violence, but had dark side
Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.
A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn" —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.
