Earth Day. Some people think it’s a fake holiday, other people admire its lofty goals. As we noted last week, the Earth Day celebration on the Mall consisted of people giving out plastic trinkets and other crap, things with cardboard stuck to it, and piles of trash. It’s good to think about the Earth and all, but sometimes you need to do more than think.

Overheard of the Week:

Earth Day at the coffee shop in the Univ. of Md. Student Union:

Two girls are decked out in green, sporting Earth Day face paint and discussing the success of the green rally they organized in spite of the rainy weather with a friend.

Girl to barista: “Do you have a plastic bag for that?”

After the jump, kids, record shops, and religion.
