in 1992 we gave up having two cars, bought an old two bedroom house ten minutes from work in a poor downtown neighbourhood and we carpool or bus it when we don't walk. Our old house has been completely redone with insulation and other energy saving measures. We have a newer model 4 cylinder drive car very good on gas and we supplement our home use of power with solar and wind. I grow my own veggies without pesticides in my own back yard garden. I did nothing for earth day because I live earth day.

Ten million years? If we have a few more winters like the one just ending, it will be more like ten years before the glaciers start growing. But I understand why people are answering the poll with "nothing," it is probably not quite true but more of a reminder to the green crowd that people are feeling pushed around by the scolds in the far-left environ-mental(ly ill) movement with their constant demands for economic sacrifice from everyone but themselves (as university professors and swivel servants they are not part of the real economy). This is one way to say "shove it" to the chicken little crowd and their constant drumbeat of doom that seems oblivious to a distinct lack of resonance in real world results.

I'm not surprised in the least. Almost everyone already practices some manner of conservation and is fairly sick of being told they don't do enough by people with an agenda (I don't mean you). Just about everyone recycles, drives less, checks how many lights they have on... you know the drill. That is somehow not enough for lefties is a nuisance of pathological proportions. Were sick of it. That's why the response is what you see above.

With the thickening polar ice sheets and the sun going into what seems to be a relatively inactive period, we may be noticing increases in glaciers in the next 5 to 10 years.

Yes, I too am going to do absolutely NOTHING TODAY! I'm going to SAVE MY ENERGY for the rest of the week of chaos and hard physical labor, which will include my usual daily attempts at preserving our earth, while junkies and less respectful types litter used needles, condoms, fast food containers, drink bottles, glass liquor bottles (can't be too hard up for cash if they don't try to get money be recycling them), etc., etc., BY:

1. Sorting and preparing all the excessive amount of cardboard and paper goods, including Wasteful, Unwanted, non-purchased FLYERS, NEWSPAPERS, COUPONS along with the cardboard from my CEREAL BOXES, CARDBOARD LAUNDRY SOAP BOXES, ETC. THOUSANDS OF COMPUTER PRINT-OUTS THAT EVERY SALESPERSON, BANK, BOMBARDS ME WITH EACH TIME THEY WANT ME TO SPEND MONEY ON THEIR PRODUCTS! I break down all of them until I have enough to fill up my large cardboard box, which is easily done, as that is the amount of paper trash I receive in our mailbox since Monday and I know there will be more in my mailbox again today, Wednesday eve! The Cardboard box I am filling is half the size of our new rollout garbage container! Anything that is a paper product that can be recycled, including envelopes, regular Pizza Joint Advertising, Fast Food Advertising, Crown Corporation Advertising, Government Party "Surveys" mailed to our name and address - it all hits that box!
2. Rinse each and every drink container that can be recycled & place in separate container.
3. Rinse & remove the labels from each and every tin can that can be recycled & place in separate container.
4. Rinse each and every glass beverage container that can be recycled (somewhere outside of Saskatoon) & place in separate container.
5. Place all mop-heads into washing machine, use detergent free laundry soap and use only the minimum level of water, to avoid using disposable cleaning products and then hang them outside in the wind and dirt to dry for use tomorrow when I try to clean the house, as we have allergy to dust-mites!
6. I won't waste water by having a shower or cleaning. I have unplugged each and every item in my home, including the TV and the refrigerator, because buying & storing food would be wasting power, so I only buy what I can purchase for our meals. I compost what I can! Today I will DO NOTHING but try to enjoy the outdoors, while excessive amounts of fast food containers, used needles and condoms, and other trash littering our entire front lawn and the street greet me!
7. I will hand rake my lawn and place the stuff that I rake into my compost bin that never gets to the point of being able to return to the soil - as soil!
8. I will gather up all the cardboard egg cartons and drop them off at the nearest Co-op.
9. I will wash, hang to dry & gather up all the WASTEFUL light plastic grocery bags back to the store that has a bin for recycling plastic bags, even though every store still makes them freely available to customers!
10.I will wash and dry all the yogurt, salad dressing, mayonnaise and margarine type plastic containers to bring to the food bank for reuse!
11.I will rinse well, each and every dish in the sink before placing it in the dishwasher that I only run ONCE a week, so that the dishwasher can actually CLEAN our dishes when we have to run it - so as to save power and water!!
12.I'll load up my TRUCK with all of the above and buy $25.00 of over-priced GASOLINE to insure that I don't anger any recycling Depot by trying to drop it all at one place, - so I drive to each and every different Drop-Off Location - so that all of my household recyclables, including the stuff I didn't ask to be brought to my home, can be properly and safely disposed of.

OH MY GOSH! All of that work took me through to Friday Night, using up my one and only monthly day off and now I again have a new batch of flyers in my mailbox (the "No Flyer's Sign isn't adhered to) with another batch to come either Saturday night or Sunday morning, so I will have to go through the same recycling process again on Sunday or Monday! Oh, Oh! I forgot to take out that small bag of trash to the Garbage Container! Oh, well, maybe next week!
SO......Why Doesn’t the City just provide Pick-Up & appropriate Recycle Bins for Each Item to be picked up with the Garbage and brought to the appropriate Recycling Depot?

I am doing nothing different than I did yesterday. Some people like myself try to do things every day and not just once a year. I would say the people who only do things once a year, on this day, are the ones living in a 'bubble'.

What are you still doing alive, Tom? All the big names of the first Earth Day said we only had 5 to 30 years left before we were all dead. Just Google "paul ehrlich", "kenneth watt" and "george wald".

We are also not doing anything different than we do every other day of the year. We recycle everything possible, have upgraded our house, do not drive unnecessarily, make a conscious effort not to pollute and are not taken in by the climate change scam being foisted on society in an attempt to control our lives. The only small minded people are those that believe this semi-religious nonsense or still continue throw garbage around. We should all reduce pollution of what ever nature as technology and real science allows us to.

Well, to be fair, I think that the only reason so many people voted for "nothing" is because options such as "Going for a random drive in order to burn a full tank of gas" or "Cleaning my Oven and BBQ" or "stress-testing my Air Conditioner" were unavailable.

Me, I think I'll rig up a ceramic heater and an air conditioner in the same room, and race them to see which one wins.

I just voted nothing due the previous comment.

Tom ;
Sorry, planned a politically correct reply but got to go run out and fill the pick up .
It's been idling all day.
And the sky is beginning to fall.

The people who are doing nothing on Earth Day are not small minded, on the contrary, they know what a scam this entire man made climate change is and how badly ripped off we are going to be while NOTHING is going to change the natural climate changes that the earth has always endured.

It speaks volumes that people are finally starting to wake up and realize that the environmental hysteria going on around them. It is in fact small-minded sheep like yourself who live in the bubble, denying the reality that the Earth is in great shape.
