I am all for recycling and being good stewards of the Earth. But Earth Day? How fair is that? Don't you think the other planets get jealous? Especially Venus. Mars never notices these things (he hasn't even bought Earth a card yet), but Venus is stewing about when her special day is going to be announced.....
Besides that, I am sick of the second class status given to Pluto. That's right. I won't celebrate Earth Day until Pluto is given back his rightful place in the solar system, no longer discriminated against as a "trans-Neptunian object" and every planet has a day to call their own. Until then, the celebration of Earth Day only brings to mind the injustice done to other celestial bodies orbitting the Sun, and the preferential treatment given to Earth in this particular planetary system.
You may or may not have caught me. I left part of this comment on Stacy from Louisville's blog last year. I am rather proud of it, and decided I needed to post it on my blog to "celebrate" Earth Day this year.

I feel really bad for Pluto, too. Stop the Pluto hate!
Don't even get me started on Uranus...
HA! Uranus...
i agree. bring back Pluto!!!
Here, here! Fight the good fight Helen!
(and I believe you have reason to be proud- much like TBS,this is very funny)
Today I'm serving Panda for dinner and we will eat it off styrofoam plates.
You get me completely wrong! I did sent Earth a card. It just got lost in the mail
Mars, why do you like Earth better than you do me?
Tee hee. This made me giggle. I miss you Helen! Heeeelllleeeeeeennnnn! (like I'm running in slow motion toward you.)
Okay, please take not that it was Katdish, and not I, who went straight for Uranus.
Heh heh. Uranus.
I think Pluto is getting bigger before my very eyes in that picture...it kinda scares me...YOU'RE A PLANET PLUTO!! Ok. That should protect me...:)
Goofy is still sad that Pluto's gone. Earth Day, Schmearth Day. My kids celebrated it for years eating dirt.
I was disappointed when I heard Pluto got a Solar System demotion. That sucks.
Stupid science.
nice! I can't tell if I'm an environmentalist or not. I like the idea of being one, but lets be honest. . . recycling can be such a pain. and I'm with Pip, "Trans-Neptunian object" :)
great post, Helen!!!
