I figure I'll start a raging fire in the firepit outside during the snowstorm. The kids will get a kick out of that. [werdo]

I was supposed to go plant trees with the wife as part of a volunteer thing from work but they cancelled it. So now I might take jeep out for a trail ride and smoke a cigar. I'm in the field so it depends on when the snow gets here. Could get stuck for another 48.
Gonna pour some old motor oil under a peach tree.

Dumping my oil catch reservoir out on the scrub oak, driving my truck more than usual, leaving all the lights on at home while I'm at work, taking an extra long shower.
I'm going to drive my V10 F250. I'll make fun of the anthropogenic climate change idiots. I'll poke holes in the ideas that the government should fund wind and solar energy and that either one is cost effective on the massive scale necessary to replace coal and oil. It'll be fun to watch people who cannot think these things through call me a racist.

Going to work to build gas guzzling hot rods.
Think I'll take a dump on my tree hugging hippy neighbors lawn.

Going to run my truck all day with me inside the house, planning another oil well.
I thanked a yaris owner for letting my carbon footprint be a little bigger, then I started the f150 and appreciated the sound of my exhaust being disconnected at the cat ;)

Do you need more oil? I have about 8 gallons I could give you, and a couple of antifreeze. [ROFL1]

Seriously, if anyone needs some used motor oil to burn in a furnace or something I have about 30 gallons or so and I'll deliver!

Burn the equivalent of a bunk and a half of particle board, using about 5 gallons of assorted used oils to get it burning.

Took over half an hour in the shower this morning, drove an SUV across town to work alone and now realize I left the back and front porch lights on when I left. [Coffee]
I've been running my 2 diesels and v-10 f250 seance 12:01 this morning ( I've been inside asleep of course) now I'm going out to my yard and plan on dumping a couple 55 gal drums of used motor oil in the nearest creek then back home to shoot a few pigeons that have been bothering me. Also if I see anyone who even remotely look like a hippy or has a obama sticker ill deliver a little "hope and change" to their suck hole. Gonna be a busy day

I took some electronic stuff to recycle Saturday at Parker and Havana, it was so green, except it took 45 minutes to get through the line to get to the drop off point. So being green kept a couple hundred cars idling for an hour or so.....

I never got around to taking the Christmas lights down so I'm gonna light the house up and grill a steak over charcoal.

Earth Day? You mean Lenin's Birthday.
Earth Day? You mean Lenin's Birthday.
I didn't know that.
So the dopers celebrate Hitler's birthday with gunfire, I wonder what Earth First will burn down today.
Took over half an hour in the shower this morning...
I will too, but not because I give a damn about Earth Day. Grin.
I gutted the catalytic converter on my Yamaha R1 and have been throwing flames at the flowers that sit behind my bike where I park it. Its funnier at night when you can actually see the blue flames hit them. Those flowers are tough little bastards.
Ask a low information Prius driver about the pollutants generated during production of their car's batteries, the replacement cost, and disposal.
I'd bust a bunch of CFLs but I don't want all that mercury running around untethered.
I couldn't care less about some lefty "holiday", but I'm always conscientious and a good steward, nonetheless. I know you guys are joking mostly in your posts above, but damn you all are scoundrels. hahaha
I don't go out of my way to do anything "green" unless it will actually put more gun money in my pocket, but certainly try not to be wasteful either. I turn the lights off when i'm out of the room/not home and I don't pour motor oil out under delicious fruit trees. That's about it. [Wave]

I just shot up a bunch of partially used gallon paint cans. What a colorful show. I am quite sure the 5.56 lead is deep in the Earth behind.

What are you going to build you house out of, MEAT?

Well, if you're attempting to dissuade visitors, build it out of brussels sprouts like Edna from Gary Larson's The Far Side (wanted to add an image, but can't find it online ><).
so many choices. I think this year ill take my 69 nova that gets 8mpg and do burnouts in boulder.
In all serious I'm pretty caring of the world around me. Picking up trash, turning off light in my house, ECT.....But the holiday is pretty stupid if you ask me. Just be smart and pick up things around you and think before you act.

dude you leave your light on all the freakin time. What are you talking about? lol
My carbon footprint is bigger than yours. [Gas1]
I did port some chainsaw mufflers this week. More anti-EPA then anti-Earth.

Global warming and all that... Last year an Italian astronaut (and environmental activist) came back from his 2nd trip to the International Space Station and then gave a big speech about how the ice caps are were much smaller the 2nd time he was up there, so they must be melting because of human interference with the environment.
Nevermind the fact that you can't ever see the ice caps from the ISS... [Facepalm]
I'm driving the Ram today... instead of my fuel efficient BMW... Ya know, doing my part! If I was single I would have gone to Denver to diddle some hippy chicks tonight. [Coffee]
dude you leave your light on all the freakin time. What are you talking about? lol
its for my dog, so he can see the intruder and bite him. Safety first :-)
It looks like shoveling snow when I get home!

Filled my truck with Gas.
I wish more people would burn less gasoline so there would be more for me to use.
I thought Philadelphia was the City of brotherly Love?
Have a Nice Friendly earth Day.
It's Snowing & I'm ready for some Global Warming!
