  1. I’m going to empty the old oil and gas from the lawnmower, combine it with the refuse from the past five years and have myself a nice black-smoke fire.

  2. Doing about an extra 40 or 50 km on the shiny new car. May turn off the traction control and leave some of the all season rubber laying around since my new performance tires will be in soon.
    Nice day, I might mow the lawn as well!

  3. As soon as I finish my toast and coffee, I’m off to Home Depot to pick up a chainsaw. I’m cutting down the only tree in my yard because it’s in the way of a new double garage I’m building.
    I honestly didn’t realise today was “Earth Day”. Now my job will be all the more enjoyable!

  4. I’m letting Mother Nature celebrate her own “Earth Day”.
    And judging from that volcano in Iceland, she’s having a great party!

  5. I’m firing up my homemade plasma incinerator (45 cal. drum)and I’m going to reduce/re-use/recycle some garbage.
    And when the flames have settled a bit, I’ll sit and watch things snap, crackle and pop, and I’ll have a few Molson Ex (brewed by a polluting, capitalist Yankee-owned congolomerate) while I chew on some Bambi jerky.

  6. Fly to Victoria and take a dump. They pump their untreated sewage straight out into ocean.

  7. To celebrate Earth Day, I’m going to buy a copy of Brian Sussman’s “Climategate”. Liz will clean the oven.

    Hey Canuck carbonators! It’s hump day for Earth Week Virtual Cruise-In over at Iowahawk, and not a single entry from Canada, home of the oil sands and Gaia-raping, V8-powered snowblowers. Let’s get those entries in, people.

  9. I’m spraying DDT heavily for mosquitos especially along my river bank. After that I’ll burn the worn out tires I recently took off of my SUV.

  10. “People have a choice: capitalism or socialism.”
    Under capitalism they have a choice. Under socialism not so much.

  11. I’m so giddy with excitement over Earth Day that I can’t decide if I should spend the day cruising in my V-8 Mustang, my F150 or my Yukon XL. Any suggestions?

  12. I’ll go and get my turkey hunting license. The season starts on Monday and I’m taking the day off work to go bag me a big tom.

  13. Wilson’s Fruit Spray to control apple scab is no longer available for backyard fruit trees.
    My “earth day” insecticide – herbicide inventory consists of, sevin, malathion, rotenone, roundup, diazinon,Wilson’s Fruit spray ( scab control for my 3 dwarf apple trees), dormant oil spray, King potato dust, paris green, 2-4-d broad leaf weed killer, diatomaceous earth, to control ants and of course, Raid.
    Not a darned thing with DDT in the mix though.
    Guess who might be breaking a few rules come planting time.
    I don’t yet know what sprays my 7 little saskatoon bushes need to help them survive to maturity in southern Ontario.
    Maybe SASKABUSH blog can advise me, eh?

  14. Oh no Joe !!! You can’t do that! You live in Bantario where these things are just not allowed!
    McGuinty says so.
    By the way, where did you score the herbicides?
    I buy mine in Port Huron Mi.

  15. Spraying the whole 6 acres with what’s left of our Par3 dandelion killer..it’s GREAT!Also,driving the non-flex-fuel SUV over 400kms..goin’ to work the long way.Hubby trying to get the emission belching Bobcat running so we can do it up right..then maybe follow Mark Peter’s lead,as we too have lots of old oil to get rid of.Nice fire tonite,and share the smoke with the neighbours!

  16. Run my two Stihl’s out on the balcony while cranking Neil’s, “Keep on Rockin In The Free World”.
    Buy the charcoal barbecue I’ve had my eye on and cook up some Jalepeno cheese venison hotdogs.

  17. Hey minuteman, you could also pattern in your shotgun (returning some lead to the earth) today like I am.
    Where you going turkey hunting? I almost filled my licence the other day when a jake ran accross the road in front of my car.

  18. I’ve been walking to work now that winter seems to be gone. But today I drove the 3km’s in my 300hp car, now I was going to drive earth day or not but it did make me smirk.
    The reason I drove is that I have a meeting attempting to sell some large equipment to evil “big oil” and had to dress the part. Overall a good earth day =)

  19. Ukrainian communists putting up a statue of Lenin and Stalin. Stalin who starved to death ten million of their country men and they honor him.This is the reason that no non communist can understand them.

  20. Read the post about taking down a tree. Though belated, I’ll be taking down two large maple trees in my backyard this Saturday. Firewood for all.

  21. Let’s see – I forgot to clean the oven during Earth hour so I could do that. And the dandelions could use a good blast of Roundup.

  22. Going to the range and blow off about 500-600 rounds of lead ammo I have left over. Moving to copper plated, so the lead has to go.

  23. A few moments of silence in honor of the millions who lost their lives due to malaria. The stupid DDT ban increased the death count by millions.

  24. They are calling for rain so the crap burning will have to happen today.
    Is there much anti-Stalin feeling left….in the Ukraine….the communists spent 50 years hunting them down….
    It was mostly Ukrainians the Russians lost on the RATT ROAD….the survivors were not allowed to go home….sorta like when the Reds executed the POWs freed from Germany.

  25. I’m clearing some land of dead grass by burning it off. Started this on Tuesday and hope to finish by Friday. All the windfall branches and pine cones go into a pile and burned. Later I’ll drink a couple of frosty imported Pilsner Urqell beers.

  26. Two words. Carbon Tax! The only way to alter behavior is to hit them where it hurts; their wallet. A high enough carbon tax and behavior would change and less of a carbon footprint would be left. It’s coming folks. Happy Earth Day!

  27. Pretty sick when a group of humans are so badly bent that they would erect bill boards with images of Lenin and Kruschev.
    Both these gems are not only mass murderers but slave camp operators as well. Siberia anyone?
    Slam the shoe, Kruschev sent nuclear weaponized subs to Cuban waters offshore USA with permission to hit major US cities.
    We are all in debt to the mature Russian sub masters who calmly refrained from the RED button. [Whew!]

  28. Off to buy some groceries, not taking the Honda, taking the 5.9 Dodge Ram 4X4, maybe drive it in first and keep the revs up nice and high all the way to the store and back (only a 10k trip, but should be able to burn near a quarter tank!!!!)

  29. Darn, you guys are making me feel guilty for having an electric leaf blower. The only consolation I will get is the pesticides for the ants and sowbugs. Probably use the last of my Weed and Feed but there has got to be some out there. Just not at the big box stores.

  30. After a victory lap round the neighborhood with the snow blower, I’m gonna drive the Chevy 300+HP Diesel around town with the Edge “attitude adjuster” set to 5! Scary.

  31. “How Are You Celebrating Earth Day?”
    I will be throwing all the recyclables I have stockpiled over the past few weeks into the garbage. I don’t recycle, but it is a nice feeling to dump such a large load of plastic, paper, and metal all at once into the garbage on Earth Day. Well, maybe not the aluminum cans. I heard they are actually worth recycling (see Penn & Teller Bullshit! Recycling).

    If I had been thinking ahead, I would have had my 50cc two-stroke motorbike ready for the road, and I would be burning all the gasoline and oil I could today. I think I should just start it up and let it idle for a while for no reason. That will make me feel good on Earth Day.

  32. For earth day I feel obligated to mention to Calgarian’s that you can have earth day every day. All you have to do is vote for the green candidate masquerading as a right wing candidate for mayor. Rick want’s to celebrate earth day every day with your garbage. and your car and tax’s.

  33. Canadian Conservative government has sold Canadians to the Red-Greens of Mao Stlong.
    …-
    “Canada vows $230-million to bolster ‘Green Revolution’ among poor farmers
    Canada will contribute $230-million (U.S.) to seed a new ‘Green Revolution’ among the planet’s most impoverished farmers, the roughly 750-million who survive on less than a dollar a day, it was announced today.”

  34. I guess tonight I’ll ask to use the one truck in the yard that has a tendency to smoke a bit.
    It’s that one trck in the fleet that the guys hate driving.
    I guess we must make our sacrifices.

  35. The Red-Greens strike back.
    The Red-Greens battle to control Canadians, our money, our livelihoods, our children.
    Fight back. Resist. Never surrender.

    “B.C. climatologist sues National Post
    Skeptics and believers in climate change could battle in civil court”
    “Weaver, a full professor who was part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that won the Nobel Prize in 2007, claims in the court documents that the National Post articles suggest he’s a corrupt scientist who promotes global warming theories so he can obtain government research grants.”

  36. I intend to pass as much gas as possible in order to warm Canada up for the coming winter. At 6pm EST, if everyone lets go a whopper it should also jump start a great summer. Just doin my bit!

  37. Earth Day?! What the hell was that “day” a couple of weeks back where we all were supposed to turn our lights out for an hour, but didn’t?
    I’m stating to find all these “days” damned annoying! And like many others here, I shall spend ED giving moral support to the Icelandic volcano.
    It’s strange that some highly educated SFB hasn’t come up with an idea for a “plug” to stop the volcano’s eruptions, like was suggested in Hawaii several eruptions ago.
    btw, did the Canadian Navy ever go rescue those poor tourists stranded in Europe?

  38. Re Cossacks and genocide – it was usually the
    Cossacks that did the killing not the other way
    around.
    Statues to Lenin and Stalin remind me that a lot
    of people seem to like to eat ****.
    If Lenin is a hero then Obama is a saint.

  39. The transmission in my vehicle keeps dropping out of overdrive, so at 90km/h it’s at about 3000rpm instead of about 1800rpm.
    Sucks fuel like T at an all you can grovel socialist buffet.
    I was planning on getting it looked at today, now I’ll leave it for a less appropriate time.

  40. I’m celebrating Earth Day, too. My lights are “on”: they are green colored ones, too!
    April 22, Earth Day, is Lenin’s birthday.

  41. “April 22, Earth Day, is Lenin’s birthday.”
    Wow! Lots to celebrate this week! Hitler’s b’day on the 20th,Lenin’s on the 22nd!
    Socialists must be delirious!

    Two words. Carbon Tax!
    Yah, but T!
    When they start placing carbon taxes on the production of TRICYCLES, you will be screaming from the top of your sandbox hill!
