  1. I do think all of the destructive Hurricanes should be named after those politicians who deny it. All of these are great!

  3. ...Debra, once again you nailed it.

  4. Your memes afford me the opportunity to reflect upon our existence and the often ordinary endeavours we undertake within society.

  5. I like the idea of naming disasters after politicians. Especially ones denying help.

  6. The first image is a beauty.
    I still use that 80-year-old solar dryer. It is SO efficient and costs nothing.
    Wouldn’t it be excellent to name the hurricanes after dumb politicians?!?

  7. All so good--naming hurricanes after climate change deniers would be great--and that last one is spot on!

  8. We are using the solar dryer today, first time this season!

  9. The two lungs is brilliant!!!!!!! Happy Earth Day! I'm planting some wildflowers when I get back from dropping the Lad off.

  10. President Richard Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon planted a tree on the White House South Lawn to recognize the first Earth Day in 1970. Somehow I cannot see the current US President and his Slovenian wife doing something similar - hell, the current moron yells, "Drill Baby Drill!" with zero concern for our planet's future.

    1. I think they are going to get rid of the rose garden and pave it if they haven't already.

  11. I like how it's the consumer's burden to save the planet, but the manufacturers don't have to make things to last, the packagers aren't offering reusable or recyclable packaging, and municipalities charge citizenry for recycling but the trucks all go to the landfill or ship it to some underdeveloped country to burn like that toxic cloud won't drift around the world....

  12. I have a clothesline. Works great!

  13. Excellent, especially, "I live there". I've got to remember that, although I've never run across a climate denier.

  14. 🌎🗺 Happy Earh Day, y'all...let's treat our Big Blue Mama tenderly today and every day!! 🥰
    Kudos for the reminder that AI [and bitcoin] will continue to suck up our precious power grids (there's not just one)! We worry about terrorists taking out our power grids in a targeted attack...really?! That's been going on for years because of greed! And, when not sucking up the electricity, these billionaire terrorists will use illegal generators that spew methane directly into the air we have to share...and will kill people in the process!! I'm looking at you, Musk!! Breathe deep while you still can, Memphis!! 🥵🤬

  15. Happy Earth Day!
    I like the hurricane meme...

  16. We brought our clothes line and hardware with us to New Mexico but never put it up. I'm still puzzled as to why no one uses clothes lines here. Could be the wind and dust or the fact that no one wants sun-dried shriveled up jeans. Or because electricity is fairly inexpensive.
    I love the green and blue lungs.

    ReplyDelete
  17. "product reliability" LOL. Yep, I still have one of those.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Where would we be without that plucky band? Love the electricity poster too.

  19. The Earth day should be every day...to save earth 🌎

  20. That last one sounds about right. I had to steal a few of these. I love them. Happy earth day.

  21. I have that '80-year old solar dryer' and love it (here in S. AZ.) but we have HOA's here that ban them because 'they're ugly' and look like 'poor people' live there. This is why we live in a 70-year old house in the middle of tucson.

  22. Ain't it the truth. So sad.

    ReplyDelete
  23. These sure give you something to think about.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great memes, all of them. When will the stupid, rapacious 'captains of industry' realize that you can't eat money? Never, apparently.
    My solar dryer is in my enclosed sun porch because I live in a rainy climate. During the winter I have a couple of drying racks that stand over heater vents. I expect my electric dryer to last forever since I almost never use it!

  25. They may make a video game out of that last one.

  26. Yes it boggles the mind to think all scientist worldwide are involved in some huge conspiracy theory, but the poor widdle billionaires who don't stand to profit at all, are the bastion of truth and sanity.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh, the MAGA dinosaurs! Yes!
    And also, AI worries me to no end. Not because it's gonna get my job, but because it's such A WASTE!!!
    Poor Mother Earth. We treat her so badly....

    XOXO

  28. Love the first image. We've been using the solar dryer every nice day for years. When not outside, clothes are on a rack inside.

  29. I am scared to see what super disasters are in store for us this summer. In Idaho, it is usually more extreme wildfires and hotter summers. Lauren pretty much summed it up as to how the whole saving the Earth thing is going.

    ReplyDelete
  30. All smart, but I second naming climate disasters after politicians who pretend they don't believe in climate change.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great line-up, especially the lungs. Mother Nature is screaming "I CANT BREATHE" and it's time for humankind to listen and get off her neck before it's too late!

    ReplyDelete
  32. The green and blue lungs ..... oh my gosh. Speaks right to my heart, that.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The earth will heal, after the humans go extinct.

  34. Very thoughtful and insightful dear friend Debra 👍♥️

    Yes greed did this not God. The system designed by nature is utterly sensitive that every single action is accounted whether good and bad ,we must be smart enough to be careful

  35. i knew it was earth day and then forgot as i typed my blog entry for the day....... just like i forgot today was st george's day.... i spent most of earth day actually with my hands in the earth..... in touch with the elements, which was interesting

    ReplyDelete
  36. The solar clothes dryer is an amazing invention!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't know how you find all these brilliant memes, Debra! No matter what subject you find them. Lauren's post really says it all!
