#EarthDay is a very absurd thing: one day out of 365 where we are reminded about the importance of the system that supports us! Unless we make every day an #EarthDay we won’t be able to fix anything.

@yogthos @jknodlseder There was some kind of movement in #Ghent (IIRC) that politicians had to eat like a vegan either every Wednesday… or maybe it was 1st or last Wed. of every month. And it works. But if you made that a daily requirement, I’d guess you’d have zero participation.

#EarthDay is every day for people like Greta. The annual Earth Day is for those who cannot handle it… those w/a weak constitution, weak drive, etc.

Aber am Earthday wird die Leuchtschrift der Autostadt von VW in Wolfsburg für eine Stunde ausgeschaltet (und der Werbegroßmonitor, der von der Hauptzugangsstraße aus zu sehen ist und die farbwechselnden Leuchtstreifen oben an den Dächern der Hochparkhäuser des Auslieferungszentrums). Wenn jeden Tag Earthday wäre, dann wäre die Autostadt ja dauernd im Dunkeln! Und wenn die nicht zu sehen ist, kauft auch niemand mehr einen VW. Das geht doch nicht! Ein Tag ist genug.

@jknodlseder I always thought of it as a joke too. I do think if we turn off our lights at night like we did years that would be more effective. #imo
@jknodlseder Like having a day to recognize the importance of the contribution of oxygen to modern society.
@jknodlseder Yep! It's pretty ridiculous!
@jknodlseder The irony of record store day being on the same day was not lost on me. Records were, for the western world one of the first mass vinyl/plastic products.
