Comments on: Let’s Cancel Earth Day, Shall We? http://nyulocal.com/national/2009/04/22/lets-cancel-earth-day-shall-we/ The Blog of New York University Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:28:42 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Cheyenne Oakley http://nyulocal.com/national/2009/04/22/lets-cancel-earth-day-shall-we/comment-page-1/#comment-13040 Cheyenne Oakley Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:11:56 +0000 http://nyulocal.com/?p=12263#comment-13040 Well by getting rid of Earth Day won't help fix the problem that we are in right now. If we don't have Earth Day things might just get worse. And also if nobody had told us about these issues than what would it be like here?? If nobody had told us that were killing our HOME than it would be even worse here than it all ready is. And this whole thing with you wanting to get rid of Earth Day is not likely to happen because many people want to make it better for the next generations to come. Yeah the Earth cleans itself but it needs help doing it and us people do things to help give the planet hope for the future. And maybe people just celebrate Earth Day just so they can feel good about something that they did. Just thought I needed to tell you that =] Well by getting rid of Earth Day won’t help fix the problem that we are in right now. If we don’t have Earth Day things might just get worse.

Earth Day raises awareness.... and you typically try to consume less energy on that day. It's an excercise in communal responsibility and it does no harm. It's really lame hearing losers trying to be "hip" by pointing out why everything is "fucking stupid". get a life This is a stupid post.

The fact that the environment wasn’t a top-three issue in 2004 (and was actually <a HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/19/magazine/19Science-t.html?ref=magazine" rel="nofollow">ranked last</A> by voters in the past election) only means that we need more international attention towards the issue, not less. And, like, what? If anything, we definitely don’t “underestimate our planet’s ability to take care of itself.” Current estimates put large swaths of NYC underwater before 2050. In fact, it looks like <a HREF="http://photos.mongabay.com/06/1025hurricane-nyc.jpg" rel="nofollow">your neighborhood</A> specifically is condemned. I adore you and miss you but come onnnnn.
