I just visited an official Earth Day website and completed an Ecological Footprint Quiz, which supposedly measures the extent to which I abuse Our Mother. If the results are indeed accurate, the Menendez Brothers have nothing on me.I knew I was in trouble after reading the first question - How often do I eat animal based products? Growing up, my parents walked a side of beef through a warm room and called it dinner. Or breakfast. Unfortunately, I've yet to kick that habit, so I undoubtedly started off in ecological chaos.
As I progressed through the exam, I learned that I'm a garbage-spewing, space-hogging, fuel-wasting brute. And if everyone lived like me we would need 12.8 planets to sustain our collective lifestyle - quite the footprint.
Just call me Sasquatch.

You say it's your Earth Day? It's my Earth Day, too, yeah! I would like you to dance - Earth Day. Take a cha-cha-cha-chance. Earth Day!
I don't know what it is, but I always feel like singing that song when Earth Day rolls around. It's my favorite holiday after all. When is Earth Day, by the way?
Should I feel proud that if everyone was like me we would only need 6.2 planets - that's half of your waste!
Earth Day and Arbor Day are close together - similar to Lincoln and Washington's B-days. So they end up having combined celebrations. We have President's Day - and maybe we could have Hug a Planet Day.
I think I like this picture of you better than the other one. You look nice when you don't shave. Kind of rugged and scruffy. HOT!
Eric - Every day is Earth Day. Duh.
Allee - Mixing in a salad and refraining from driving my hummer to the mailbox should bring me down to 6 planets in no time. Now if I could just find a comfortable hut...
MM - I went to Spalon for a simple Brazillian and look what they did to me! You know a lawyer?
Yes! Only 5.7 planets for me! Must be because of my energy efficient 2000 Suburban. Gotta figure out how to get all six of us on a motorbike - or maybe we'll get a few horses and a covered wagon.
Mamadala, we'll call you Little Foot.
(I'm sure you've seen those inane dinosaur movies...)
OK, as long as I am not the screaming little triceratops - what was her name? Sarah? or Cera?
Man, I DO NOT miss those videos.
I only need 3.8 planets. I must be really great.
