To celebrate Earth Day at our school, the kids fly kites.  I hate this day.  In theory, it sounds great to spend some time outdoors on Earth Day.  But how is buying a new kite every year beneficial to the Earth?  Aren’t we supposed to be leaving less of an imprint on this planet?  (And don’t even get me started on the waste of money this is.)  How about celebrating Earth Day by making an art project with recycled objects?

As usual, nobody cares about my opinion.

But this year, I could do something different.  I don’t agree with this way of celebrating, so I didn’t go.  I sent Lance instead.  How smart am I?

One thing didn’t change this year, we threw away the kite as soon as the time outside was over.

Actually, one thing did change, we tossed two kites, instead of just one.  Happy Earth Day.
