Screw Earth Day?


Grist, a well-known environmental website, is telling people to “Screw Earth Day!”

While that seems like an oxymoron, Grist has actually begun a campaign to urge us to make every day Earth Day.

Earth Day was first held on April 22, 1970. Some call it the birth of the modern environmental movement.

“Too many people tokenize Earth Day, using it as an excuse to hug a tree one day and ram it with their SUV the next,” said Chip Giller, founder and CEO of Grist in a press release. “We say, screw that. One day is for amateurs. We can do better.”

What do you think? Are you an amateur or pro when it comes to being green?
