Earth Dayist - April 15, 2019

What to do for Earth Day? It happens every year on April 22nd, you know. So, in reading some suggestions, I became conflicted, as so many were about what to buy. Do I need to drive around and buy earth-friendly house cleaning products, Earth Day celebration cards and balloons, and replace all my light bulbs and thermostats?

I thought the underlying theme of Earth Day was to be conservative. That is, to be conservative, not a conservative, but how have so many words about being good to the planet ended up being associated with freaks, such as environmentalists, conservationists, and politicians?

I will do as I may on Earth Day, with conservative zeal, and I will not feel the judgmental stigma of the vocabulary enigma.
