Was thinking this morning how many decades have we been celebrating Earth Day & the progress is Nil. 😢

same to you

I love it how private jet flying politicians fly around and get escorted in gas guzzling SUVs to tell me I'm polluting the planet. I feel bad for keeping my almost 30 year old pickup truck that barely passes a smog test in California and not selling it for something newer. Since it only cost me about $300 to have it diagnosed and replace an oxygen sensor to get it to pass smog

Another reason to bring back "Big Hair" The aerosols will reflect back some of the sunlight and we will achieve Homeostasis again. Happy Earth day. 😁

ALL plastics should be recyclable and ALL governments around the world need to take action to make it happen. It’s inexcusable!
