I’m going to celebrate Earth Day by consuming and/or utilizing as many products manufactured with or brought to me via a gas/oil mo-chine as possible. Heck, I may even mow my yard . . . . with a gas-powered mower, causing noxious (to humans) fumes to be placed into the atmosphere. Maybe I’ll run down to the store and buy some ice cream, in my internal-combustion engine-powered automobile, complete with air conditioning. Hey! I know . . . I’ll hook my gasoline-fueled boat up to the back of my gasoline-fueled automobile, pull it to a nearby lake, hop in and cruise around the lake for awhile, and use as much gas and oil as it takes. I might even take some charcoal, set it ablaze, and cook up a burger or two – again causing noxious (to humans) fumes to be placed into the atmosphere. The noxious (to humans) fumes I emit will be gladly sucked up by all the plant life around.
