Don't you have to get work off or something for it to be a holiday? I don't recognize any day as being special unless I don't have to show up at work!  ;D

Religion?  [roll] And you don't have to be politically motivated to be environmentally concious. 

Earth-worshippers constitute a religion, to me.  And, while you don't have to be politically motivated to be environmentally conscious, this "holiday" was created to politicize the movement of being environmentally conscious.  It's another opportunity to inculcate school children about how evil it is to be "consumers", not to mention the evil smoke-spewing corporations...

I don't see how using one day each year to bring things like water conservation to the public spotlight is a bad thing. It's nothing like having a day each year where you HAVE to buy your S/O some flowers, and a card, and maybe some jewelery in order for them to know how much you care.

Well, no one said that Valentines Day wasn't stupid too.

While you celebrate Earth Day, say a word of thanks to its co-founder Ira Einhorn, whose other achievement was killing his girlfriend and hiding her decomposing corpse inside the wall of his apartment for 18 months before fleeing to France
