Earth Day arrives again, with nothing to commend it, no good having come from it, and indeed a lot of harm instead. Harm to children's minds and spirits. Harm to developing countries having to suppress their development. Harm to industrialised counties having to waste resources on the follies of 'renewables'. Harm to all the better things that could have been done with all the conferences, resolutions, and bloated budgets of eco-this that and the other.
Josh sums it all up rather well:
Parents who want to enlighten their older children could start by giving them a copy of Josh's cartoon. And that by itself could trigger lots of useful online research projects to dig deeper. There are more specific ideas for such projects here. And more background on the failure of Earth Day here.
One thing seems clear. You cannot rely on schools to do this for you.
