Oh, the SHEIN art installation and the Greta sticker are flawless. I just did a Word Earch in my WWFs about Earth Day. We’re cooked, btw. That doomsday clock is ticking.
I saw stars early this morning. Not a usual part of my love of nature. Yet another bit of her beauty. Environmental awareness gives so much sorrow, but ephemeral joy..
Yes, I do believe our political parties have dropped the ball on the environment...again. Soon as there are cuts, it's always the first to go. And the An Empire Built on Waste can go so many ways! Consumerism is a very bad thing.
I keep saying, "Humans are the scourge of the earth." We destroy, destroy, destroy. If it were up to The Orange One our national parks would become oil fields.
Until "they" go back to equipment and appliances that are cheaper to fix than replace, Until "they" cease packaging that is not biodegradable, Until "they" make public transportation meaningful to the people in all points between the East Coast and the West Coast, The working class gets the burden of waste, pollution, landfills, and climate change.
🤗 Well, at least there are some things we earthlings can always count on. 🦆 If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and walks like a...uh-oh! 😖 The EPA's mission now is to redefine what a duck is?! 🤬
I'm at a Stand up for Science online Earth Day celebration this evening at 8 eastern time. I haven't forgotten Earth Day, and I've done better at being a friend to the environment ever since. As Jane Goodall used to say, don't give in to despair. Just do what you can. It adds up!
Human species , greed and destruction has not been the most clever for this planet. Until humans are wiped out there will not be a mother earth recovery. Trump men and bazillionaires are inadvertently doing just that. so , maybe they are doing a service...sounds like a reach but...maybe. In the meanwhile- we recycle, boycott, use less oil , make a garden , don't murder animals that annoy us...the little things that make us FEEL as though we are helpers for good. Humans have certainly disappointed Earth's nature. I think she may have had enough.
Hello Debra, These are all sad but true, and incidentally quite clever. My favorite was "We ruined the internet!" I had forgotten about that annoying paper clip thing.

I was thinking this morning about when we would see ads and PSAs about turning off the lights for an hour on Earth Day. I just looked it up and seemly, in 2026 this took place on March 28?!? I often think of that Shein piece when I look at what the step-granddaughters buy! I often complain about Amazon over packing their items. Then the other day I got a flimsy plastic bag with cookies! I'm sure they will be broken into pieces.
@ Jackie McGuinness -- Yes, Earth Day and Earth Hour are always on different dates. Earth Day is always on April 22 but I think Earth Hour might move around? I'm not sure.
You’re ordering cookies from Amazon? Please consider other options. Amazon is a major contributor to the deregulation of our economy and destruction of our government.
The same people bringing us war, discrimination, hate, intolerance, disrespect, abuse, misogyny and the rest have no interest in Earth Day. The Shein billboard art is absolutely brilliant.
Great memes, sad content. How far we've gone backwards since the 70's when we actually made good governmental decisions about the environment -- the USA, that is. I'm sure other countries are doing better. They could hardly do worse.
Ecosystems are more resilient that we think, PROVIDED that the negative impacts of humans such as habitat loss/fragmentation, over-harvest, and climate change can be significantly reduced or eliminated sooner rather than never! Mother Earth is losing patience with us.
I've read Trump's been asking about the nuclear codes, a reminder that the Earth can expire a lot faster THAT way than anything else that's being done to the environment.
I'm happy to say that I do not contribute to the fast fashion waste piles. I buy what's comfortable and wear it way past the ragbag stage. I just don't understand throwing away perfectly good clothing just because it was "last year's favourite"
Debra.. i have no idea how u manage to collect and curate absolutely the most intelligent humour on any given topic. Hilarious AND thought provoking!!! This is one of the first blogs i click on in the Reading list!
Brilliant memes, Debra! The David Suzuki one is excellent. He's yet another Canadian who makes me very proud of Canada. That Shein installation is spot on. And the Greta one is poetic justice. I snagged all three for inspiration. Thanks, my friend!
Great job dear Debra Sorry sweet friend I couldn’t enjoy them because of my old habit of focusing on dark side of the jokes ☹️ yes I feel for Charlie Chaplin when he get hurt Earth is victim of our actions and selfishness and we are too blind to understand it,it breaks my heart 😞
The climate should be everyone's number one priority. I have voted for it for 40 years. Climate change is affecting every single living being on this planet.

ReplyDeleteThe words of David Suzuki are great.
ReplyDeleteBaltic Sea is very importan for Finnland, and we are doing much for cleaning it...
The trash art piece and the bumpersticker ... we're never going to learn.
ReplyDeleteI like David Suzuki and that meme with him is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe our political parties have dropped the ball on the environment...again. Soon as there are cuts, it's always the first to go. And the An Empire Built on Waste can go so many ways! Consumerism is a very bad thing.
ReplyDeleteYes. Happy Earth Day to those of us who celebrate it.
ReplyDeleteUsually every day.
Can you believe David Suzuki turned 90 last month?
ReplyDeleteAll of the memes break my heart.
I keep saying, "Humans are the scourge of the earth." We destroy, destroy, destroy. If it were up to The Orange One our national parks would become oil fields.

ReplyDeleteWe are the only species dumb enough to destroy our only habitat. I agree with David Suzuki.
ReplyDeleteSuzuki is absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteEcosystems are more resilient that we think, PROVIDED that the negative impacts of humans such as habitat loss/fragmentation, over-harvest, and climate change can be significantly reduced or eliminated sooner rather than never! Mother Earth is losing patience with us.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know who David Suzuki was. I had to look him up. Thanks for intro. Loved the Shein - perfect compilation.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are great but I love the Shein and of course David Suzuki.
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, Happy Earth Day. David Suzuki and the Shein ones are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHappy Earth Day.
ReplyDeleteAll these are sad but true.
ReplyDeleteIl n’y a qu’une seule Terre, et nous devons en être les gardiens responsables.

Also known as Yggdrasil Day, its a time to give thanks and respect to the whole of existence.
ReplyDeleteI hate the fast fashion crap and people ordering garbage from temu and similar sites. Their attitude is wear it and throw it out.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteGood selection to reflect on.

ReplyDeleteEarth Day came and went without much todo. It seems like people lost interest. Or I just missed something.
