Iacobus Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 [quote name='Raphael' date='Jul 3 2004, 12:17 AM'] If that story had been true, God would have no idea how to grow a garden. [/quote] I have seen that Native grasslands. They are by FAR prettier than any human garden and they are what God has made. SOOO I say GCPMGADOTW!
Thy Geekdom Come Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 No, Smokey the bear is cool...he's not a tree hugger. His purpose is to promote the rules for camping in the forest and to help prevent wildfires. That's all good.
Iacobus Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 [quote name='littleflower' date='JMJ+Jul 3 2004, 12:30 AM'] how about your a treehugger if your name is smokey the bear? [img]http://www.tiac.net/~rflaford/smokey.jpg[/img] only you can help prevent forest fires! [/quote] You are a tree hugger if Smoky the Bear is on the top of "US Govermental Programs to STOP!" LOL!

If we left it as a natural cycle (Which it is) than we wouldn't need forest fire polices.

Don't forget...God told us to take care of the earth and bring forth her fruits.

But he didn't have to overturn all the parire and grow suburbs to do that. LOL!

He's telling campers to be responsible by putting out their fires and not setting fire (uncontrolled fires) to the dry brush. ***PET PEEVE ALERT*** Jacob, please learn the difference between "than" and "then". It's starting to drive me nuts!
Iacobus Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 LOL! I don't care bout no silly funny talkin' stuff. LOL!

luciana Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 [quote name='StColette' date='Jul 3 2004, 01:21 AM'] when you become a wildlife rehaber lol ( guilty ) [/quote] My sister and I once tried to save a little bird that hadd been hurt. We picked it up and took it to a vet, but it wound up dying (don't worry it wasn't a baby waiting for it's mom) We (especially she) have saved many domesticated animals, too (kittens and dogs, we've used that baby animal formula and bottle fed two kittens that we've kept. ...You might be a treehugger if .... ...you carry home your empty iced coffee drink cups in your shopping bag so you can recycle them at home, wetting your new clothes in the process. .. you turn off the water while brushing your teeth, shampooing your hair, and get in fights with family members who don't .. you read E magazine

The funnest thing I've raised was a baby squirrel lol The worst thing was a woodpecker who would perch on top of your head and bang your head with it's beak lol
Sojourner Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 ... you save any biodegradable kitchen scraps in a bucket on your kitchen floor so you can take them out and put them into your compost heap.
homeschoolmom Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 you MIGHT be a treehugger if you hate the idea of putting a ton of chemicals on your yard to kill dandelions, but you know that if you don't your neighbors will hate you. And you hate to spend family time with crappy yardwork, so you trim the shrubs, but don't bother with a garden like everyone else. And the idea of staying home so you can move the sprinkler all over the yard and dump thousands of gallons of water on the ground or spend thousands of dollars to install underground sprinklers like the neighbors have just to do that same thing MAKES YOU ILL.... You might be a tree hugger... or you might just be getting sick and tired of suburban life...

[/quote] ha ha ... I don't think I could do the whole suburban thing. I much prefer having neighbors who don't care what I do with my yard.
morostheos Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 You might be a treehugger if... it makes you sad when someone throws away something potentially recycleable, and even more sad if it's a glass bottle (one of the most recycleable things). You might be a Catholic treehugger if... it makes you feel guilty when you do it (Catholic guilt + treehuggerness)

You know you're a treehugger if you actually hug trees and claim that the tree you're hugging is actually your long lost brother from a previous life. (That's what this one lady told us when we caught her hugging an oak tree in front of our house.)
Oik Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Iacobus, your story is awesome! Did you write that? It was hiliarious (and true!).
