Earth day

Don't forget to celebrate earth day today.

I started off by driving my truck by myself instead carpooling in my rice burner. To top it off, I left a nice patch of dually burn out marks in front of work today.

What do you do to celebrate earth day?

HA HA HA!!!!!! Awesome thread. I already work at an industrial site that spews 'waste' CO2 into the atmosphere at a rate that more than equals all the emmisions of all the vehicles in the province. Just doing my part.
