A true wake up call for everyone

I may have contributed in the 80’s.
But I’ve been very very good since. I promise

Oh my gosh, was his book really wrapped in plastic. Oy!

We are plating flowers in mini pots at work. We got to paint the pots as well.

Bob said...

I like the idea of naming hurricanes after climate change deniers, and I lovelovelove that needlepoint!

Marie Smith said...

So much plastic that isn’t needed. PEI has been recycling since the early 2000s. I see no change in the amount of plastic we recycle since we have lived here, the last 25 years or so.

Tom said...

...plastic is a HUGE part of our life!

There is only one earth, it will survive after humans are extinct.

Tundra Bunny said...

Naming hurricanes after politicians who say global warming is a hoax would be a great start -- then include tornadoes, large wildfires, precipitation events that deliver a month's rain in one day, unprecedented storm surges along coastlines and snow-bomb storms!

Happy Earth Day.

Plastic is impossible to avoid, even when you try your hardest to avoid it.

Mistress Maddie said...

I strongly think we should get that last one on t-shirts.

The hopeful idealism of the 1970's seems so misplaced now. Even the idealism of the 1990's was an empty promise. We are fools.

We definitely need to reduce the plastics we use. Thank you so much for the reminder!

Homer sees the glass as half-full.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

As always these are fabulous.
The book in plastic is nuts!

Tasker Dunham said...

Assuming the animated graph is right, that's terrifying.

Mike said...

There are still nonbelievers that I don't think even a 300MPH hurricane will convince.

Happy Earth day! :)

Eye opening, for sure.

Ur-spo said...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of these.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

OMG that last one reminded me of Anne Marie!!
And we DO need to take care of the bees or we'll be screwed.

I'm all for naming natural disasters after climate change deniers. Done!

XOXO

That global warming graph kind of says it all!
I don’t know what we have to do to get through to some people. Deaf, dumb, and blind!

Busy Bee Suz said...

That cross-stitch is GOLD! :)

Rommy said...

Where can I get that cross stitch pattern?

Jamie Meyers said...

The hurricane one is too good to not share.

Lady M said...

Hurricane Trump should hit any time now.

Liz Hinds said...

That graph is too scary. And I'd definitely go for the last one.

This gave me a sinking feeling in my gut, Debra! The world is sleepwalking into oblivion. 😭
