Hug A Tree… And Kiss It On The Mouth While You’re At It
Happy Earth Day!
This year, to celebrate how green we are, Matt and I are signing up for a CSA program for the summer months. We’re going to give it a try from June-September despite the warning that we’ll probably wind up with lots and lots of beets. I’m sure Berlin likes beets.
Not only that, but I’m vowing to do some other earth-friendly things today. I’m going to carry my 76% recycled Alchemy Goods messenger bag and take public transportation home from work. Yes, I do this every day because it’s convenient, but I’m doing it today to be green. I’m also going to leave my dog’s poop in the park instead of picking it up. This will keep one more plastic bag out of the landfill, will help fertilize the grass, and will annoy moms who “lunch” and take their kids to the park before their pedicure. I also really like kissing things on the mouth… my dog, my cat, my husband… I might kiss the dogwoods that are blossoming in our neighborhood.
No, we really do try to be green, but I have to admit that the selling point on joining the CSA was not because we’ll be supporting locally grown sustainable agriculture… but because the farmer is an ex-punk drummer. I like to imagine he’s Topper Headon and farming under a pseudonym. Very kissable.
