Five Earth Day Faux Pas

I am a big fan of Earth Day. I just didn't spend it in such a way as would show I actually care. There are some things that are good that I do every day. I always drive a fuel efficient car. I always try to consume less. Here are my five not-so Earth Day-y things I did.

1. Ran computers all day. Every time I was sitting down, it seems, I was running a computer. They are quite the power hogs!

2. Ate at a restaurant where styrofoam reigns supreme. Also, I don't know where these ingredients came from. If they came from very far, then they are very environmentally unfriendly.

3. Ate Dominoes pizza. Once again. Who knows where the ingredients came from?

4. Drove everywhere. I mean, everywhere. No car pooling, no bike riding, no nothing. This is closely related to

5. Went for a drive. I never go for a drive, but yesterday the wanderlust seized me. I drove as far as possible until I got too scared my car would blow up.
