the TAO of CHANGE

a boots-on-the-ground view of the change that's a-foot

Earth Day - is there any other?

by Tao Oliveto and Jerry Stifelman

I didn’t really forget about “Earth Day” on Tuesday. My confession is that I’ve been kind of a Scrooge when it comes to the idea because, well, every day should be Earth Day, right? I look to Jerry on this one and here’s what he had to say:

Earth Day, hmmmm, what about the other 364 days that we spend ON THE EARTH. There ain’t no living, loving, no rock and roll, no sports cars, no frisbees, no barbeques, no manola blahnik shoes ——– without the access to the resources of this most excellent and forgiving planet.

So I’m not big using Earth Day as an extra special reason for companies to sponsor events, put their logos on plastic water bottles, for people to drive to festivals and concerts.

Let’s get serious about doing good by the Earth every dang day of the week. Now that WOULD BE FUN.
