Earth Day brings with it an almost carefree joyous celebration of nature. To honor the planet we print or hand-make t-shirts and signs proclaiming our love of mother earth and hold festivals with food and drink. We watch documentaries that echo our views and grab reusable shopping bags to get our groceries. But a problem arises our t-shirts, signs, and reusable bags are made of materials like cotton, plastic, and various toxic chemicals that in most cases are the antithesis of their 'green' label. One study from Michigan and Cornell found that those most concerned with the Earth were the least likely to take action to protect it but the most likely to demand draconian governmental action. Earth Day is often used to make us feel guilty for living on the pale blue dot as if we are some foreign parasite not created or evolved here. We are told the dot is becoming browner, though this is not true, and its green is becoming paler, ushering in that same pale-faced rider of the apocalypse, khlōros. Few things could exemplify this push more than Climate Pledge Arean in Washington State and its focus on 'green' initiatives and the Kraken.
