Ok....moment of truth here....I do not recycle everything. Now, before you gasp in horror, I do use reusable bags, I recycle paper and cardboard and water bottles.I replaced incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs and turn off lights where I don't need them. I gladly buy local food and organic if at all possible.
Now, I am not going to go without eating meat. I live in the frigid North, so I have no choice but to idle my car if there is no outlet to plug in. The other thing I have not being doing is composting...not a fan. Next, parking my car is not an option for most of the year, since it's far too frigid to walk....and have you ever tried standing at a bus stop for a bus that only runs past the nearest stop every half hour, in the winter where the wind chill can freeze any exposed skin in about 2 minutes flat?
So, Mr. Al Gore.....I do my part to the best of my comfort level...so,I recognize Earth Day because I DO want this Earth to stay as gorgeous and awe inspiring for my Sons and their families.
