What did you do? I bike into work, but not b/c of earth day. I cannot wait to plant some trees on the new land/ home next year. PS- just thought does a small tree take in more Co2 and give off more o2, or does a large tree take in more Co2 and give off more o2, or does the size of the tree matter? ---

Yes size matters. I put 70 bucks worth of gas into my SUV to carry myself and my brief case back and forth to work. I might kick a squirrel later. ---

Launched hard from every red light and stop sign on the way to work. Specifically went 3 blocks out of my way so I could run through 1st and 2nd going up Millersport. And I took a swing at goose with my lunch bag, but he started it. This was all before I even realized it was earth day though. Had I known I would have tried harder to hit the goose. ---

Since you asked… Last weekend when most people were doing their Earth Day projects I was trimming some nasty, thorny, bushes/trees/brush along my driveway because they could scratch my car. My neighbor comes over to ask me not to trim the locust trees because he likes them. The first time I met the guy a couple years ago he asked me not cut trees as I was clearing for my driveway, etc.(existing driveway) He moved out to East Aurora from Kenmore because he likes the nature and privacy. He bought a house that has a driveway running next to it!!! Why didn’t he buy more land if he likes privacy and nature?!? He also told me he transplanted trees a couple years ago and pointed to trees on my property!!! WTF? Tree huggers are a bold bunch aren’t they? I can’t imagine for one second going on someone elses property and asking them to stop cutting! PS The trees are gone.😃 ---

> [@Fry](#): > > I put 70 bucks worth of gas into my SUV to carry myself and my brief case back and forth to work. I might kick a squirrel later. 👏 Drove some old car that is non-recyclable, has no emissions control equipment other than a PCV that I’m pretty sure is clogged, polutes worse than a Suburban pulling an Excursion over a Titan, and averaged around 15 mpg. I even added some lead to the gas. Reminds me of last year when I pulled alongside a Prius at Seven Corners. Had to rev it a little to keep the idle up. That guy gave me a look at would shrivel Lance Armstrong’s remaining testicle. Not too happy. I figured I was filling in for what he was saving, and it all averaged out. 😉 ---

Same here, except subtract the briefcase and the 70 bucks was of 93, and starting with a quarter tank. My ID badge takes up a lot of room though. I also sprayed on the 33 to merge and avoid getting boxed in. Every little bit helps. ---

Someone throw some gasoline on some old tires and light that bitch up. That’s probably the best Earth Day ritual you can do. ---
