So many things I've received for my child emit terrible, toxic smelling odors. Some plastic toys actually made me dizzy. There should be a home test kit. Well, I guess there is -- my nose!

I am mystified by the stupidity of the Earth Day videos I have just viewed. First, the tips are sophomoric and pointless. It seems everything on these videos aims to satisfy everybody with simplistic notions of what Earth Day is all about. The ad tacked onto the tips is longer than the tip? What's up with that? And the ad is its own special treat; On the one hand you are running a video of Julia Butterfly and at the same time you say “Whether you are the type of person to hug a tree or cut it down” What the heck is that about? Is this the twist? I guess the twist means anything goes, save a rain forest or cut one down. I had to play it several times to believe what I was watching. This is truly the most disingenuous, facile crap I have seen since the Cargill commercial I saw yesterday. ps- Your “green guide” is also riddled with problems. Here are just a few I saw in 5 minutes: 1 Evergreen teas should always be used in moderation, because large amounts can be toxic. Pregnant women should not drink this tea. 2 “ 'Hummus' organic soil” Can I get tabouli with that? Did you mean humus? 3 “Look for paint with no lead” Lead paint? They stopped making lead based paint for residential use in 1978. I'd like to see you find (new) lead paint. 4 “Meat eater? Eat wild, not farm raised” What the heck is “wild” meat? Did you mean natural? Organic? Or should I hunt wild animals? Granted I only listed 4 mistakes in the “Make Earth Day every day” guide but you can be rest assured that I could list 10 more. Was this produced to fill space or really provide useful information on Earth Day?
