Yeah, okay, I am one of those horrible people who will tell you that Earth Day has failed. And failed miserably!

How many species are going extinct every day? There's no turning back from global warming. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is just getting bigger. There are millions more animals who are "farmed"... tortured and killed every day. No to mention the human overpopulation.

I for one am going to enjoy civilization while it lasts. Because, people? it's not going to last very much longer.

But, while I'm waiting:

I'll change out the light bulbs.
I'll recycle everything I can get my hands on.
I won't use the drier for my clothes.
I'll walk and bike to work and the community garden.
The worms in our townhouse will continue to compost the kitchen scraps.
I'll use rechargeable batteries.

Oh. And I'll continue to be vegan.

Going vegan is even better than switching from a SUV to a hybrid car, if you're counting carbon emissions.

Going vegan is even better than adopting a shelter animal, if you're counting lives.

Going vegan ... is the best thing you can do as a human!
