I know lots of us have a spam box - an email address that we use widely which collects spam. Me, I'm lazy and just have one email address which I've had for years, so you can imagine the volume o' spam. Today I noticed multiple messages exhorting me to purchase products to celebrate Earth Day.
Not that retailers don't use any, and every day to try and get us to make a purchase. Apparently we need to buy special stuff for every occasion. No celebration is complete without a full complement of event specific stuff on sale now at a retailer near you.
I find it highly ironic in regard to Earth Day. Hey, buy an Earth Day tee shirt to show your support. Get your "green" kitchen tools. Gotta have some more reusable bags.
Stuff, you want it, you need it, must buy more stuff!
I was born on the first Earth Day. If anyone wants to help the Earth and I celebrate the happy day then, try, just for one day, to not buy a damn thing.
