Earth Day Shmerth Day.

How the Cowgirls managed to rock your world today.

Earth Day started somewhat pathetic. Forgetting that it was today, we took part in our usual 20-minute shower while running the faucet for our kitten to drink. We then ironed our hair, whitened our teeth, blended a smoothie, etc. until noticing the headlines in the paper. Oops.

But Mother Nature is a forgiving woman – one who understands that because the Cowgirls work from home, we don’t need to drive anywhere, print things, or do very much at all actually. Either way, we thought we’d jot down a list for those who don’t really want to go hardcore on this:

1. We’ll re-read Sleeping Naked is Green, written by fellow Cowgirl – Vanessa Farquharson.

2. We’ll not pick up after our pup (therefore saving plastic bags).

3. We’ll keep the lights out indoors seeing as the day is so sunny and beautiful.

4. We’ll not blast the Miley Cyrus quite as loud as usual.

5. We’ll not be chewing gum.

6. We’ll use our water canteen.

7. Our puppy will use his water canteen.

8. We won’t print any bank receipts.

9. In fact, we don’t even need to go to the bank today.

10. We’ll burn our bank statements instead.

11. We’ll ride our bike. (Motorized yes, but better than a car).

12. We’ll hug a tree.

13. We’ll not open any champagne.

14. We’ll not watch any TV tonight (going out instead).

15. We cannot bring ourselves to wear any green or brown, but will smile at those who do.

16. We’ll eat at the latest it-restaurant, Earth.

17. We’ll think of words that rhyme with ‘Earth’. Worth, mirth, birth, girth…

18. We’ll sing the song “Worms make dirt” by the Aquabats.

19. We’ll wear our Birkenstocks.

20. We’ll tan outside instead of the salon.
