This month we celebrate the great American tradition of Earth Day, whereby we may be inclined to go through our garbage with added scrutiny and sort those savory morsels of reusable kitsch and tender vittles of recyclable number
twos, or perhaps venture to the nether regions of the natural world to take in admiration of the stuff we are told the rest of the world does not have enough.
Ah, we are lucky indeed to boast of this space, this time, and the roads in this springtime paradise we share.
But what does it mean to have an Earth Day? Does it mean added regulation? More television appearances by Al Gore? A gentrified rock concert that pulls in some really earth-conscious millionaires?
I like to think Earth Day is about realizing that though we are in the middle of an earthen-bound paradise, there are northbound armies, not unlike a Tolkein novel, who would think nothing of spoiling if it meant greater power for the eye of he-who-should-not-be-named. If the protection of our land’s purity is paramount, for us and future generations, we must fill in our local bootstraps and take footing.
These events are upon us as they never have before in human history.
So take a moment, breathe some of that oh-so-fresh air, hum an ohm, and get making some origami!
Glücklicher Tag der Erde für Sie!
