- Hello.
Hey guys as many of you may know
today is earth day and you know what that means.
Time to go running naked through the rain?
What rain?
And celebrate the moon goddess.
Is that how you celebrate, naked in the rain?
Today's the day that I share with you guys
some of my favorite things about earth
and some of my not so favorite things about earth.
Favorite thing number one,
earth is a place where my dog lives
and I love my dog.
Look at her, she's so cute and great.
Thing number two,
earth is a place where my friends live.
Literally every single person I know
in my entire live lives on the planet earth.
Including you.
Favorite thing number three, all food.
I love food so much
and all food that we eat comes from the planet earth.
Some of my favorite foods include
avocados, almonds, artichokes.
I mean food that begins with the letter A it seems like,
but that's not the only thing all three
of those foods have in common,
they're also all foods from the state of California.
Wow.
In fact the state of California is responsible
for producing the vast majority of Americas
fruits and vegetables.
Like really a stupid amount.
97% of walnuts, that's crazy.
I just thought walnuts came from the sky,
but here's a bummer fact
California is in a super, super severe drought.
On January 3rd the state of California
conducted its first know survey of the wet season
and we had, oh you know, 20% of the
average amount of snowfall.
That's not good you guys.
Don't believe me?
Check out these pictures of the
earth cemities half dome 2011.
2012.
2013.
2014.
2015.
Oh my god, this is a real drought
that's real and woo it sucks.
Now I know what you're thinking,
Hanna, when's this going to get positive?
And you're going to tell me something
happy I can do about it.
Well I don't know, you know,
because it's like what are you going to do?
Eat less nuts?
Maybe that's a start.
California's responsible for 45%
of the nations nut consumption.
And we're not just talking about,
we-ho at San Francisco.
So a lot of the water usage in California
doesn't even come from residences.
It comes from hotels and farmers,
so it's not just California's issue,
this drought.
Just as any other states issue
isn't just that's states issue.
It's the nations issue.
We all have to act like we're one big thing
to effect change in any part.
That being said, you guys know my personal philosophy
is always better to do something than do nothing.
So there's lots of water saving tips online,
I've included some links below.
Of you live in California or frankly any state
and want to be more water efficient in your home
go for it!
Great idea.
But lets go back to talking about the whole
of planet earth, shall we.
Not only is it earth day,
but we're about to enter into another
political campaign season of people talking about things
and throwing out the word climate change
to get you to want to vote for them.
Or not talking about climate change
to get you to want to vote for them.
None of that really matters,
what matters is educating yourself
and empowering yourself to do something about it.
Right?
okay, good.
So let me finish this with this,
climate change is real.
It doesn't fucken matter if you believe it or not,
it's real so have a la di da great day.
But you guys remember a while back when everybody
was taking about divestment
and how universities were divesting
from carbon burning companies because those companies
are accelerating climate change,
which is a reality that we all just have to accept.
So what if everybody who wasn't like
a government player and who wasn't just
you know making money off a giant corporation,
what if all the other people like celebrities
and musicians and private individuals like us,
what if we all divested?
What if we went to the people who have your retirement plans
and all that stuff and you said,
I want what ever money market you're using my money in
to be totally, totally green.
Just make it green.
Oh, but you're going to get like nine percent turn
instead of a 13% turn and then are you really
thinking about your future?
That's when you say this,
you say yes I am really thinking about the future.
Are you thinking about the future?
Or are you thinking about the short term,
which is money?
That's not the green we should be concerned with.
Anyway guys these are the thoughts I'm having
this earth day.
I really, really, really love the planet
and the people in it
and I want it to last as long as possible.
Our beautiful planet or the monie?
Anyway have a great day.
Mwah.
While you can.
