Today is Earth Day so I will be helping clean up a Alder tree grove, Alder trees are one of the best trees for taking in carbon and turing it into oxagine . Cheers and happy Earth day!
Yup. Trying to get streaming live drone coverage or I might just walk the day away to the Boston Common 4 miles away. I do that. Walk on a whim.

Same as I do every year. I cut down a tree in the park, burn leaves and brush in my back yard (legal here) and pour used motor oil down the storm drain.
Just appreciating my good fortune to live in a magnificent natural environment in this tiny spot on the Earth.
I do at least some work for the environment every day, so I don't make a special day of it.

I made a card, openface, on blue recycled cardstock paper. I drew a picture of the Earth and stars and poster-stye lettering "Happy Earth Day" for my bosses and their 1 year old. I gave them a hand towel which I decorated with painted waves, the sun, sand, seals, and dolphins. I planted 6 iceplants and I donated 20 bucks to cleaning the oceans.
Yes, I am filling my pockets with earth. I feel the end is near, and whether I am to be beamed away to some distant planetary system, or blasted into the abyss when Earth disappears in a massive explosion of glowing magma, I will have something to remember my old home planet by.
Of course, while I am all for planting trees and I do not mean pine monocultures all over the high moors and fells, what happens to the tree when it dies?
In life it absorbs Carbon Dioxide and uses it to form plant proteins and sugars. After death of its leaves or the entire tree, its proteins etc. break back down into simple compounds for release into the wilds, including... Carbon Dioxide!
