I’m happy for the Earth, but when will the rest of us start getting some credit?

I burned some tires.

Reeve - Burning tires is not a positive thing for the environment.
You may not know this, but there are several destructive chemicals that are released into the atmosphere when burning rubber reaches a certain temperature. You can see why this might not be the best activity to celebrate earth day with. You might want to try cleaning up a park, or even planting a flower. These activities would have positive impacts on Terra Firma as well.

Yeah, you’re right. I apologize. I should have incinerated some environmental wackos instead. Next year.

Perhaps a career in cremation?
