Earth Daze

Earth Day is here, and I'm proud to say that it's the first holiday since Christmas that contrasts the popular Who-ville morel of "Stop being such greedy little wenches!" with the unrestrained capitalism of "Hey! buy our product! It's green now!"

I should point out that all the numbers in this comic are as accurate and up-to-date as I could find. Most of them came from 2003 to around 2006. There are no statistics on how much trash the entire world throws away each year, so I used estimates based on America's output. What staggered me was that we produce more air pollution than we do physical waste--by weight! Do you have any idea how much a ton of CO2 is? Holy crap!

Now polar bears are endangered. So waht are we going to do about it?

A renewable energy source

This is so bloody obvious, it's not even fair.

Earth Hour '08

Earth Hour is largely symbolic, I will admit, but it's kind of sad how many people are not willing to go without their electronics for a mere 60 minutes.
