“The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!” George Carlin
For some reason, this reminds me of the ones who fly a jet all over, and then leave their black Escalade running to keep the A/C on while they tell us how we are messing up the earth.

One day soon there will be a limit to how much junk there is and we won’t be able to launch any high flying space craft or missiles.

I use Earth Day to be thankful for the abundance that the world supplies. No wait. I do that on 420 day.
