I Didn’t Ride My Bike to Work on this Earth Day
he world in which/on which we live is a glorious creation and I thank my God for it every day.
However, a lot of what I read today, on Earth Day was either too over the top tree-huggy or too right wing nut job dismissive. The only thing that rang true was a little piece by a certain bike commuter in NYC.
When I thought about it, I realized I really didn’t want to do anything that was bad for the environment. Unfortunately, though, since simply washing your taint in the shower is enough to destroy the world, it seemed the only thing I could do to be environmentally friendly (or at least benign) was pick a small plot of land, never leave it, and subsist entirely on rainwater and whatever plants I could manage to grow. Even then, I’d have to figure out what to do with my waste. I supposed I’d have to compost that.
The whole thing’s worth a read.
