Holy Compost, Batman!!

S.F. Earth Day celebrations
“But to make the message more fun, and less dogmatic, the staff will sponsor a recycling game in which visitors have to sort chicken bones, plastic bags, TVs and other items into recycling bins. Winners get a canvas bag made of scrap fabric….Earth Day is our biggest holiday of the year," Shaw said. "And the fact we get so many people out, not just on Earth Day but every day, really speaks to the commitment of people in the Bay Area."

This tickles me in a perverse way more than I can say. When they put up the Na'vi statues of the Pandoran (from “Avatar”) religion of worshipping Mother Earth, I can’t wait to see all the self righteous turning in their petroleum based products onto the altar…..yeah, right.

I am all for recognizing that the planet has exhaustible resources, and we should be good stewards of the planet we live on, but if that’s the biggest aim in your life, then dying is the kindest thing you can do. You’ll no longer emit noxious gases, consume resources and you can be used as fertilizer. Soylent Green, with a twist.
