I put down some mulch in some of my flower beds, but it had nothing to do with it being "Earth Day."

What kind of wood is that?

Sky Captain · Apr 23, 2007, 06:54 AM

Morning. Oh you mean what the owl box is made of.

Cedar.

Dakarʒ · Apr 23, 2007, 06:59 AM

A 300Z, huh?

mac128k-1984 · Apr 23, 2007, 07:01 AM

I raked my back yard and planted grass seed, Like Railhead it had nothing to do with earthday. It was really the first nice weekend in boston and I wasn't going to let it go to waste.

Silky Voice of The Gorn · Apr 23, 2007, 07:04 AM

I went to a kiddie concert in Central Park.

Sky Captain · Apr 23, 2007, 07:06 AM

It was a beautiful weekend here also.
I've since purchased more wood to construct 4 more.
They're going to a charity auction for a nature center.

Jawbone54 · Apr 23, 2007, 07:41 AM

I hugged my lawn.

osiris · Apr 23, 2007, 08:33 AM

I did a tree.

actually, I avoided the internet, tv, modern modes of transportation - and spent the day in the park with my girl.

By 6pm I caved, and had to check my email.

andi*pandi · Apr 23, 2007, 10:01 AM

we went to earth day, got to see a cool animal show, the kid got to play a band with recycled instruments, and then we went home and planted flowers. I also futilely planted some grass seed. We'll see if it actually takes this year.

kmkkid · Apr 23, 2007, 10:04 AM

I just flopped around hungover, and made split pea soup. The soup was green at least.

Jerk.

There's nothing I love more than spending several hours at a beach. Why are you in the Caribbean? You don't live there, do you?

Yes... I live in the Caribbean (although I'm a U.S. citizen) ... Trinidad & Tobago. Live in Trinidad but spend as much time as possible in Tobago. Here for a few weeks to enjoy the beaches. Plus the Plymouth Jazz Festival (the name is a misnomer as it really has nothing to do with jazz) is this weekend. Gonna be a great concert.

Took this yesterday:

I'll be venting CO2 into the atmosphere so the plants will have something to breathe...

I am more jealous than I could possibly express...

Go snorkeling much?

I suspect I was purposefully ignored.

I can't blame anyone for that.

Gossamer · Apr 23, 2007, 11:32 AM

Although it's a 300ZX, right?

Dakarʒ · Apr 23, 2007, 11:34 AM

My X key doesn't work.

Eh, it's just an old ZX. My weekend toy.
I have a pic of it with my airplane somewhere...

I said wood...

Dakarʒ · Apr 23, 2007, 12:31 PM

It's still remains one my favorite models from the early 90s.

Of course, I find the ass end has a tendency to slide out on turn after you upgrade it to about 800 hp in Gran Tursimo.

smacintush · Apr 23, 2007, 02:04 PM

I cut down about ten wrist sized trees, about a hundred finger sized trees and three mature ones.

How'd I do?

You could have done better if you just poured gas on them and lit them on fire

For Earth day, I did not run my AC at all. And it was 82, sunny and humid outside.

Go me.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 23, 2007, 04:01 PM

I actually haven't run my room light today. Then again, I do have my computer rig going full force

imitchellg5 · Apr 23, 2007, 04:04 PM

I got up early on Saturday to help clean up the kinnickinnic river here in Milwaukee. I went last year, and pulled out trash/garbage/junk for most of the day, and in total, everybody pulled out over 12 tons of garbage.

This year, there was a bigger turnout. It's amazing how quickly a few hundred people can really improve things in such a short time. I worked from about 10-2pm, and the river went from horrible looking to pretty freaking awesome.

Here's a vid:

I drove my gas sipping Kia today, TWICE!

Everyone who's doing very significant things to improve our living space, you are an inspiration!

I got you beat, I drove my gas chugging truck sunday. I drove it back and forth to the transfer station as I got rid my old mulch in the town dump .

andi*pandi · Apr 23, 2007, 07:05 PM

that's cool Rob. I had some friends do that for the Charles River here in MA this year. I fricking hate people who dump tires and shopping carts in rivers--my friend said she found like a hundred metal lunch trays. WTF?

centerchannel68 · Apr 23, 2007, 07:23 PM

It's usually homeless people that do that. The river would have been significantly cleaner had there not been a bunch of bums living nearby it.

When was earth day? Last week I started walking to work every day. That should count for something, shouldn't it?
